not always, but in order to win you need to think about it often

I learned to recognize your opponent's hand! If I want to win constantly, I must bring to this great value!

I try to put them on a range of hands, its very difficult to put a villan on one specific hand.

You always have to put your opponent on range of hands they could have and not just focus on your hand.

Best you look in your garden,you are not to be interested in what is another in the garden of. Concentrate on what you have , do not pursue what is another like you forget what you have. I hope that I do understand.:)

Yes, I think a lot about the hand of my opponent and most of the time I hit the hands he has. But unfortunately my curiosity to know if I am right disturbs me and I end up paying to see and I lose a lot of money with that. But in everything there is an apprenticeship and I like it right 80 percent of the time, I will stop paying to see. As a saying goes "Curiosity is what killed the cat."

It is so if you say ,but your curiosity would kill you and the money in your pocket(as curiosity is what killed the cat).:)

I try mostly playing my hand , but thinking at the same time what hand the opponent(s) might have , but not get too anxious about that , as sometimes I get stuck getting the feeling I am bluffed and then I am losing too muh.many money/chips . Then tilt and again the same . Above all hand and position .

Hello! Cards that are in my hands, it is secondary. Good to read your opponent's hand - is the key to victory!

This is what makes the complete difference in winning players in the games especially as you move up the ranks in poker. It's not so much as paying attention of what your opponents hands it's what they don't have which can help you gain information to play the next hand.

You can eliminate hands based on opening ranges to start. See which board textures would work well or not for early position ranges. Will a board of Ts 7c 3h look for an open range from EP? CWIM?

Recognize the card (at least one) sopernikaest pledge successfully won the hand. It is necessary to analyze the game opponents, if you can not recognize his hole cards, you need at least a narrow range of hands.

I try to think about their hand range more so than their exact holdings.

always got to know what they could hit or have on every street in order to make the correct reads and decisions especially if you want to steal a pot etc..

i disagree with most on here on the range of hands. For me betting history style patterns are more interesting to work on and know of the villians then to know the range.

When im on truly on I really know what people are trying to do and reading can be very easy so easy in fact I wonder if everyone went and read the same book on implementing their strategies. I really get a good feel for a table and do not necessarily put people on a range I think that in itself is shortsighted. I really see good players betting a wider range of hands and mixing up play and bets and being confusing.

The leagues here are the best source of that imho. I see guys that will raise with a 6 3 suited like they would raise with an ak. They hit their board and mark and the trickier ones will let you lead to your own death when they flop that str8 etc.. Why I dont buy into the whole range thing.

Now if im grinding ring game or money then a range of hands makes more sense to me so probably do it more often. I am very good at math and the odds are automatic in my head on most days playing so many hands in my lifetime of poker etc...

I keep very good notes on people but what I focus on is betting patterns. Is some here who truly mix it up and trick me at times and always get a good chuckle out of it but in the main daily I dont run into that so often thankfully:)

To my mind its the main idea of this game to know which cards have your opponent. I always make an effort to do it. Thank you for good question! Gl 2 u!

In my opinion at the table you must have open your eyes so wide as you can))) to see what your oponents are doing ? do they play aggresive or play calm on good hand)) you have notice everything according to it you will approximately know the hand of your opponents)) it is very important to think about hands at the table)) GOOD LUCK MY FRIENDS))

I think about the range what villaine might have, the situation dynamics and the last thing which i really care about is what is my holding.

Yeah you're right! Sometimes you can overlook opponent blah sometimes you must overlook him because he's gonna bluff you, make presure or try to scary you!
