Rivals Reading is one of the most important things in poker. If you know you're good at it, and not try to read the other players when you play , then you are failing as a player.

A good poker player is constantly evolving . It's not like you graduate in a poker school , get a diploma , and you 're a great poker player from that day. To play well you have to be in continuous learning and gathering information from other players constantly.

We're not saying it's a simple task , indeed, it can initially be hard work. Divide your attention in many different directions , it is not something that many poker players can do naturally and probably one of the toughest tasks you have to complete a poker player .

The first thing you do when you read an opponent is to learn . Watch your opponents , tells detects and checks the results . This will complete the process of reading the opponent . Even when you manage to draw the right conclusions , will be far from efficient .

The goal here is to be able to anticipate what your opponent will do . As in professional sports ( the NBA for example) the ability to anticipate the opponent makes the difference between a good player and a bad one. Some people say you have to know what the other player will do , before he knows what he will do. At first you might find something far away but over time you will see that it is doable .

The key is to know what will make all players at the table . There are a number of tells in live poker , players can use them to draw their own conclusions , and also exist in online poker , no matter what some people say.

Betting patterns are the most important tells is in poker, both online and live . See if your opponent uses the button check / fold can give clues about the strength of your hand .

The time it takes to act , is again an indicator of whether you are hesitant to make a decision . Sure you have used these tells players to confuse you but you must detect .

Once you've managed to read an opponent , you'll probably be able to anticipate their actions and to dominate them on the table. :cool:
