The question is whether the previous hands or how the tournament has been developing is a source of information for the hand that one is about to play.

Undoubtedly, this is the most important thing that can affect the entire tournament because during the game you see what people are with you at the table and how they play and you can play accordingly, whether it's flying here or more aggressively or maybe it's even time to bluff.

Without a doubt, yes. Everything you can analyze and draw conclusions is an important source of information and a basis for further decisions.

Watching the entire game will allow you to find out if someone is big on bluffing or is a more solid player. I have seen players get aggressive and start getting smacked around when others learn their habits. Tight players have people leaving them alone when they get aggressive. Lower stakes have few people paying attention, though.

Good day!
Of course!!!!!!!
You are playing up distance, experience. After a certain distance, some actions are performed automatically, you will play some hands more correctly than you did before.

Exactly - you don't see it all the time, but some players wear their "style" on their sleeves. It's super easy to use that info to your advantage, especially if their current play doesn't match what your HUD seems to be suggesting.

I agree with the others that said previous hands certainly effect the action! Just also keep in mind that people can react to the same situation in many different ways and to not make the mistake of thinking it will effect people’s play in the same way a given situation would effect your own.

Yes, unless you won't let anybody to see your hand at showdown other then with nuts.

It can provide a quite strong psychological pressure ;)

Of course. Many times you have to take into account the way your opponents play, such as whether they play many hands or the position at the table. This will give you an idea of ​​how the rivals play

Analysis and drawing conclusions is needed and it will definitely improve our game. It must be remembered, however, that people are not machines and even to the same situation on the table that they may react in a different way before, you also have to be ready for it.

Hello.
Previous hands are always a valuable source of information, but decisions need to be made taking into account many other factors as well. Previous hands are a source of information but this is not crucial data for a final decision.

Everything that happens at the table during a tournament will undoubtedly become informatively useful in the future. You can even make notes about the players with whom you sat at the same table.

In previous hand you got KQ but failed to connect with flop. And you lost.
Present hand you again got KQ. Thoughts will pass in your mind that in previous hand you missed the flop but this time you won't. Repeatedly you can't miss flop with KQ in a row. Such type of thoughts my influence your game.

The source of information for how to play a hand can only be collected information about how your opponents play and that's it. Only this information can help you play correctly and get chips if you were lucky). How the tournament goes on doesn't matter to you and doesn't give you any information*.

*only if you have a medium or high pot and you do not have any restrictions for the bet.

Carefully study the table, opponents and how the game is going - this is the most important thing when you see your new cards ;)

When a guy opens 5x from EP and you are lucky enough to see the outcome - the guy turns over KKs. The next time the guy opens 5x - you can be sure he is playing a strong premium hand, or at worst A/K. :)

I got stacked by a gent this way - he opens 4x utg - I passed - but saw outcome - he hand KKs. Very next hand I'm dealt QQs - and he opens again to 4x - surely he doesn't have KK again....
Yep he did - back to back KKs - luckbox! :)

Regarding opponents play style and such - yes.
Regarding cards - how RNG deals and such - absolutely 100% no.

The previous play that you've seen in a tournament should certainly influence your future play. You should constantly be observing the action and noting things like a player's calling. raising and shoving ranges. You should be observing player's tendency to bluff, or if they play a hand differently when they have from the way they play it when they don't. I've noticed such things as players that have a tendency to bet bigger with nothing, hoping to get a fold, and betting less with big hands to try to keep their opponent in the hand and calling.

The most basic decisions we are constantly making are whether to call, raise or fold. And each time those decisions should be based not only on our own cards, but also the play we've seen from our opponents. If I've seen a player constantly and repeatedly check/calling the flop and turn before suddenly shoving on the river, I'm more likely to suspect him of bluffing and therefore less likely to fold a solid hand to him when I see the same play from him in the future. It's also important to keep in mind that really good players are capable of switching up their play to keep you guessing.

Yes, the history of the tournament, its hands, can be important in some moments.
When I play in a tournament and when there is a difficult hand with a difficult decision, then I start to remember how my opponent played an hour or two hours ago, his past hands, and it really helps.

Yes, they do. And past hands played by your opponents and the stage of the tournament: proximity to the bubble, the level of blinds, features of prize payments. All this you must take into account and adapt your game to advance to the final table.

Of course, in order to improve your game, you need to analyze your past hands.

Very simply, since poker is a game of incomplete information, any information gained is definitely an advantage. If you were sitting at the table staring at your phone, you will miss important parts of the tournament.
