do you guys take a lot of notes? I know i have taken some in Pokerstars on the ppl in the PO tourneys, but the notes are no longer there..
hmm yeah i had the same thing, its like it doesnt save, just for each tourney make new ones
You can pretty much only read an online player from their betting patterns and how they bet when certain cards come out.
Watch their betting patterns, whether or not they are betting oddly compared to what they've been betting. Are they calling/raising immediately or if they're letting some time pass, how are they betting relative to their position on the table. The biggest thing for me would be comparing their average play to the current hand.
lmao.. i gave up trying to read online players after i started playing freerolls
bet size, the most powerful tell for You :D
if playing in freerolls, you may not be able to learn a ton, but just betting patterns, sizing, time etc
