GI would like to know how my game opponents see me, remembering that I am still learning how to play poker correctly, I make mistakes, but I would like your opinion. Honestly, no offense, about how I'm playing... I'm not an expert in the games, but I intend to become one.

Opponents who are well-read and familiar with the game will see you based on your actions. Opponents who are already at a higher level and have played more hands with you and seen more showdowns will have a more complete view.
It's a great move in poker to notice yourself, to understand how you're acting and to deduce how they see you and take advantage of that.
Let's say you've bluffed twice in a row, and the hands are helping, then a premium hand comes along, you go out there and act aggressively again, because your opponents already have an image that you're playing more hands than you should, and they'll probably call your premium hand. Another example is, there are very few strong hands coming along and you haven't played any hands in two orbits, so you have a pseudo-conservative image, you take advantage of that to bluff and win a big pot.
This issue of balance between value and bluff and image is already a great start to improving your game.

opponents read based on your betting size. also more you play on the same table you can sometimes get a feel on how a particular player plays. so it's always good to mix up your strategies. good luck and have fun

I think you need to take notes on your opponents. Make them regularly whenever you have a spare minute. Over time, you will realise how useful a source of information they can be for you. In general, you're playing well enough to keep going :)

You play pretty tigth and you love to minreraise your very strong hand preflop instead of making it an amount that could get some fold.You love to bet your big hand very very foward and strong on the flop.When your limping your never strong. and i never saw you make any check raise.

I would say that your biggest flaw is your bet sizing wich usually make your hands face up

Note that this is my vision and other probably see you differently and thats its really normal when you start to play im almost 1 year and a half in and im making a ton of mistake myself :D

Você joga muito bem e adora fazer mini-raise com sua mão muito forte no pré-flop em vez de aumentar a aposta para um valor que possa fazer com que alguém desista. Você adora apostar sua mão grande muito, muito para frente e forte no flop. Quando está de limp, você nunca é forte. E eu nunca vi você fazer nenhum check-raise.

Eu diria que sua maior falha é o tamanho da aposta, que geralmente faz suas mãos ficarem voltadas para cima

Observe que esta é a minha visão e outros provavelmente veem você de forma diferente e isso é realmente normal quando você começa a jogar. Estou com quase 1 ano e meio e estou cometendo muitos err
Thanks for the feedback, my husband has the same view of my games as you do, can I confess here? I'm still afraid to make some bets, but I'm learning to improve that.

A lot of people on CC make a big deal of sharing hands or advice but i dont i was doing it all the time on my thread...CC games are pratice to get better were playing freerolls for little money so thats the best moment to share advice and all get betters ^^ First thing to get better is to found our flaw as you seems to did so now its time to fix it :)

For fun what you think about my game? haha :D

I'm not a professional, but I know that there are two strategies that work. Passive and aggressive combination

I agree with Sparta77, and playing more tight in the beginning to raise the ammount of chips and more aggressive in the end of tournaments to maintain them.

When I see a woman at the table, I stay alert — women can be very tricky in poker, and they shouldn't be underestimated. I know many men who assume that if there's a woman at the table, it's going to be easy money, thinking all women can't play poker — but that's a big mistake.

Maybe you shouldn't pay attention to what other players think of you, just play your game.

Hi Diene, I've said before that I like your game, because you have important qualities in poker.

Aggressiveness and boldness are some of them, and I also see that you follow basic concepts of range and position, as some members have also said, the only thing to pay attention to would perhaps be to adjust the size of the bets, it is usually good to enter with a mini raise 2x BB in the preflop when we have good hands, you are a good player like @Mart1194 is too, you are in good hands, you have a good mentor, now just keep going, the evolution is right around the corner.

All the best.

I think that in each game people can see you in different ways, you don't always have good hands and bets, nor do you always have bad hands, so I would say that from game to game it varies, but in general if you bet a lot I would say that you go with any hand, if you bet little you are tighter, it also has to see the sizes you bet, but I would say that just because of paying or not paying hands it says a lot about you

Keep all your pre-flop bets the same size. Bet sizing tells are the easiest to read. Play in position, play looser when you are the button or closer to it.
Watch for players who limp and call often, they are weak, these are the ones you can exploit.
Those that are over aggressive can also be exploited, just call if you have a strong hand, they will do the betting for you.
Be aware your opponent is playing your range, if you represent the board, often they will fold.
You are also playing their range, if they are tight you will often be playing against a powerful hand.
Looser players have a wider range ie they play weak and strong hands and if they are good players you will find it hard to exploit them.
Watch all showdowns, this will help you understand who plays what.
Good luck, :D

..try to avoid winning hands by showing your cards, also read your opponents at the table and always play reverse style...against passive players play aggressively and against aggressive players play passively...

In online poker, all skills come with the number of tournaments played, you yourself will not notice how quickly you become a good player if you have the desire and patience.

Very ambitious for a beginner poker player! I can advise you not to enter the game so often with middle hand, but your playing style already brings you high places from time to time. And you're always a dangerous opponent for me, because your playstyle is uncomfortable for me and I always have to think long about how to take your chips. ;)

I haven't seen you at the tables but I'll give you some advice to play more safely, play with a strong hand and don't play with trash.

Seeing your picture, I take some notes of your playing at replay, I really don't remember what. But I can tell you, that some players here could be looking reflected. I'm still finding my way, my own -study and practice- So freerolls are indeed the battle field, so. I really don't judge any player on a freeroll. on freerolls you can make all the mistakes, bluff with air, dunk, limp, whatever you want, but I think the only justification is because you are learning how to play. Don't be afraid to learn on a freeroll. Just take notes of everything you do. Good and bad things. even about mental. Later you can play on a real money tournament and try to apply what you learned and try to not commit that mistakes.

I have the feeling that you are taking the poker seriously. Keep learning. Hope you get the jump and left the freerolls soon.

See you at the river.
