One of the better poker adages I like is,
"You are not playing the cards, you are playing the man"

But when the man is playing only the cards you are playing the cards so dont bluff.

If the man is only playing the cards, I am bluffing until they show me a reason not to.

Exactly :D
Thats a huge aspect of poker, knowing your enemy.

A fun exercise is to cover the screen with a label, so you cant see your own holecards,
then you only have to play by the other players action. You should of course not do
so all the time, just for practice, to see how good you are to play "tha man" :cool:

I have heard that adage but the man keeps sucking out cards which defeats the purposes of playing the man.
