Know Your Enemy in Poker

Calculating opponents is extremely important in poker. If you want to be successful at the poker table, you need to gather as much information about the other poker players as possible. If you’re able to spot a “fish”, you will have great edge in the game.

You should begin your evaluation of a player as soon as possible, some times even before he sits down to play. Is he comfortable in the casino environment? How does he handle his chips? Does he seem confident in general? Any sign of inexperience and nervousness can be worth gold.
