Bumhunting You know what it is?

[Edu1]

You who are starting to play and study cash, have you heard of bumhunting?

bumhunting is when professional players are after amateurs and beginners at the cash games tables.
There are even softwares that search for those players that you have marked to play against them again.

So beware of sharks who are looking for potential prey.

This is why it's good to have software to keep track of the stats of your opponents. I can't remember every single player, but my computer can. If I keep encountering the same player I have played many hands before with, I will notice. Depending on our relationship (if I am the clear underdog), I might decide to leave the table.
