There are many players who play with the mechanism of helps eat the hhm and others .. I as far as I am concerned I do not use them .. but how to read our opponents .. in general basically I use notes .. and I see how they play that Positions use ,, equal conidero that on line is more difficult to see what reactions they have to every move they make ..
Live one sees his opponent in each gesture and if it is habitual to play several times and one goes knowing and can develop better ..
How do they see it?

I also do not use programs. I use notes on my opponents and pay attention to the hands they are playing while I fold, to see which cards are opening raises and in which position. So I gather some information to make certain decisions.

In live tournaments, I use the same mechanics as online. In the hands that I am not involved I pay attention in the raises because in the end usually has showdown.

For people who play zoom and tournaments a lot, it's virtually impossible to make reads without the use of software. In my pre-software times, my worst nightmare was when this "You have been moved to another table" message pops up, especially when I've acquired a couple of tells on a player or two on the table.

In tournaments it's almost useless since it's low chance to play with them again.

For reading players in online poker I use notes - this is the main method. I do not use any programs. As an auxiliary method I use - speed ​​of action of players and the size of the bets.

Software is over rated in tournaments as people change gears in the late stages so you be folding a lot of winning hands as you think he's tight but he's just changing gears as he knows the blinds will eat him up!

That,s simple, you just need to watch more on your opponents. It,s really not so hard to understand, who bluff too much, who plays tight, some players can be very aggressive. Just take attention on them.

I do not use any software that collects information about players. I see how the opponents act in different situations and draw conclusions.

Programs do not use notes do not.For me notes are distracting,and you look at the rates and with what hand calls or raises.

I remember making each player at the table what his habits of watching what cards he's bluffing and everyone else make of that and try to build your combination to win

Players tend to play a set way in terms of starting hands, from this you then read how they play the flop and turn card if their hand weakens or strengthens. Be much more alert of slowplayers than LAG bluffers because reverse bluffing is much more dangerous to your income (you have to bluff them regularly but the moment they reraise DO NOT engage without nuts).

Hand replayer/history is a good way to see how someone played a previous hand, some sites allow for storing hand histories as well. That way you might be able to confirm or analyze your read during the hands

Many people use programs that do this. But if you do not count on them the best way to measure your opponents is to see them, see their bets, the positions they play, and if they let them see, the cards they play with.

The programs give bad reads because they don't take into account interactive reads (some players play more aggro or looser vs specific opponents on the table and this is something software can never pick up but you can).

In a poker tournament it is very important to know how your opponents play ... the most practical thing is to make notes of your opponents ... it is very important to be very clear that we will point in our notes ... for example that so often a Opponent enters a hand, what is the range of hands that a certain opponent is playing? What is the range of bet that opponent uses? From what position does the opponent do? With all this information you can design a strategy game that allows you to have control over the table and win chips

I do not use software or make notes, but when you look at the desk you often "know" that someone is bluffing.
I lost many positions in the last Cardschat freeroll (I finished in 10th) because I guessed a bluff that did not exist, but nothing better for your Poker than the experience.

When a table starts ... in the very few moments ... i am noticing the aggressive players . Then i am trying to notice who are those who got on there mind the idea of bluffing . And at last i am watching the defensive players . If i am noticing something ? Huh ... noo. I am just doing my kind of game :)

When playing in real games it is easier to see the facial expressions and unusual movements that you have our opponents, however when it comes to online games is much more difficult, then the information that comes from everywhere is important. Whenever your opponents go to a hand, observe and memorize with what type of cards they bet, what position they have with those cards and play, as long as you play you better identify your opponents

For people who play in zoom and tournaments a lot, it's almost impossible to do reads without using the software. In my election program once, my worst nightmare was when this "you put on another table" message pops up, especially when I purchased a pair of talking on a player or two on the table.
