Just imagine what would have happened if you could see the cards of your opponents? Then you would just print money. Your own maps would not make any difference. You would squeeze opponents out of the hands when they had weak hands and fold when they had strong hands. It is to this level that you should strive in poker, and how to achieve it, we'll talk in this article.


In fact, there are often situations where your opponents give you enough information so that you can narrow their range to just two cards. But in most cases, the usual idea of ​​the strength of their ranges is already enough to make profitable decisions.
Reading hands can only come with experience.
Good luck and good game!!!:p

Patience and discipline are two skills you must master to succeed at poker long term.
And if you want to develop the skill of reading an opponent's hand,
then it might be better to learn how to guess numbers in a lottery or roulette ?

The possibilities for reading hands are greatly exaggerated. This is easy enough to prevent, playing a very wide range of hands. in the same way.

Hand reading... To guess what might be on the hand of the opponent... But the opponent may be bluffing=) So there is a more suitable term, "Reading People"

This isn't a good analogy imo.

You can make a good guess at an opponents hand based upon logical facts & behaviour. For example he 5 bets preflop but checks an A on the flop. the usual conclusion here is opponent has Kk or QQ in this situation.

You don't get to guess the numbers in the lottery or roullette after they land. Roullette would be easier if we could bet after the ball landed & we were allowed to interrogate the croupier that spun the ball :p
