Message: [QUOTE="Polytarp, post: 4355185, member: 312731"] This is what I noticed online: In cash games, see if the player is multi-tabling and if so is going to bet big on solid hands. Shake him/her up with whatever is in your bag of tricks and watch the bet size increase when you are in the pot. Winning two All-in's should be enough to make it a good night. Requires finessing but the correlated card range and bet size are a readable signature. In tournaments, especially heads up, I bluff liberally. Reading the above correlation is crucial but being super aggressive and fast may spark the other player(s) into playing more speculative hands. If you notice the quality of winning hands and response time declining in certain players then you are doing a fine job. Once such players have declared themselves I try to catch a monster or an off beat suited connector to seal the deal. I have been caught with a lower set of trips, the losing end of a straight and the losing end of a full house so there are no guarantees. This window of opportunity is player specific and time sensitive so as long as you can do the math and not get greedy, then the bad beats can be survived if you get bushwhacked. One thing I forgot to mention was to notice who is controlling the table. Either by action or chip size or a combination of both. Look at the players these people are targeting and assess why. A mouse will bite back when cornered so watch the dynamics unfold when the mouse wins. When the table turns against the table bully then I do more huffing and bluffing against the chip leader and can usually make a marginal hand pay off more often. Now, if I am the table chip lead I try to wipe out the smarter players and not push hard against the weaker ones until I need to wipe table. On a final note in online tournament player, there are few things sweeter than going heads up after a long tournament and your opponent gets disconnected. If you track which players this has happened to then you may be able to connect a few threads together for some easy wins. [/QUOTE]
