Mind games

There is a difference between limit poker games and no limit, which refers to the fact that in no limit poker psychological skills and bluffing are more important and they can be done easily. But it is good to use these tools depending on the type of your opponents. Also if you play a low stake no limit game ,these tools don’t have to be utilized too often. In these games it is more indicated just to wait for a strong hand and then make huge bets against your opponents.
Experienced poker players have two fundamental skills that do not stand math: to mask the feelings (because opponents do not guess if you have a good hand or not) and that of others to infer by studying mimic, and gesture language. Psychologist Mike Caro, which sought a lifetime behavioral indicators of poker, said most attention to detail matters, for example the way the opponent keeps the cards, the way he looks or moves … Some give away, simply singing a song, sighing , beating with the fingers on the table , checking the cards and trying to build false runways .
One of the most valued skills in live poker is to read your opponent, those ‘poker tells’ that can make the difference between a brilliant bluff or a stupid bet. Unfortunately, many beginners fall into the trap of-and overestimate the ability to read opponents and major mistakes that lead inevitably to destruction of their bankroll. The ability of detecting poker tells is acquired in time, but most times it is preferable to accept the possibility of being made with a bluff rather to watch at any price to make a magnificent call. When you see a player, you should take into account a number of issues such as:

*  Passive or aggressive;
* He play many connectors;
* He calls pre-flop and raises with very weak hands;
*  Lose or win frequently;
* Play directly or avoided;
* Bet on semi-bluffs, etc.
In general, it is more difficult to observe the opponents when you play in a tourney, because it often happens that players change their game play according to the stage of the tournament in question. However, it is quite easy to realize if a player is good or not. For example, players are aggressive tend to be very cautious in the early stages of a tournament, giving you the opportunity to freely play them.
