A man needs a motive to play poker. To me, its money.
Poker is a game of people. If u remember that, you can bounce ur opponents around like tumbleweeds in Texas. If you forget, Lord have mercy on ur bankroll.))))
More than any other game, poker deppends on understanding ur opponent. U've got to know what makes him tick. More importantly, u've got to know what makes him tick at moment u're involved in a pot with him.
Consider these questions when sizing up on opponent - whats his mood, his feeling? whats his apparent phsycological frame of mind right now? Is he in mood to gamble, or he just sittinjg there waiting for the nuts? Is he is a loser and on tilt (playing far below his normal capability). or has he screwed down (despite his being loser) and begun playing his best possible game? Is he a cocky winner who's now playing carelessly and throwing off most of his winnings, or he is a winner who started to play tight to protect his gains?
DONT JUST PLAY UR CARDS, PLAY UR PEOPLE!!
