I noticed in pokerstars, that you are moved tables frequently. Do you wait a few hands to reestablish a strategy or do you stick to what’s working?
What do you mean ? If you mean in tournaments, yes you can be moved from table to table a lot, you cant really just sit there and do nothing while you analyze other players so the best thing is to take notes when you notice something specific about some player or generally if they are reg, recreational, super agressive or whatever. This way next time when you are at the same table with them, you will already have the idea of how they tend to play in certain spots.

I do not change my strategy. I remain patient and wait for good situations and mistakes of my opponents. You may be interested in our free course, thanks to which many players have already improved their skills and optimized their strategy.

Each new table is a fresh slate: they have no idea how you have been playing and you need to continue to pay attention to see how your new table-mates are playing.
Generally when moved I play tight for a little bit (an orbit or two) just until I can see who's loose/tight and aggressive/passive and then I adjust accordingly against those players.
Try to figure out who knows what they're doing and who doesn't and decide the best way to win chips when in a pot with them before getting into spots with them: this player likes to bluff so I'll give them more chances to bluff their chips to me, or this player calls anything that moves so I will wait for a big hand and make large bets.
Good luck! [/QUOTE
I agree you have to know who knows what they’re doing. It’s hard though. Sometimes they call with nothing and get lucky on the River, when skilled poker players generally fold?
This is very helpful! Since joining this community, I have found that my game has got both better and more enjoyable.There are egregiously bad plays you can look for... such as, limping in and calling raises over and over, or players who check/call hand after hand (no matter the bet size), these are dead giveaways of inexperienced players.
Good players can make bad plays too - poker is hard.
Every hand is an opportunity to learn, try to figure out why your opponents were making 'a bad call' - maybe they incorrectly believed you bluff more than you do and they thought they might have had the best hand some percentage of the time, maybe they thought if they hit they would get the rest of your chips and thus have implied odds on their calls.
There's a ton of information on any topic you can imagine: practice, learn, and repeat endlessly.
Good luck!
