Make notes on your opponents

One of the key thing when playing poker is to make notes on your opponents. I'll give you some tips what to take notes of:

1. Aggression on flop
- Do they always bet after pre-flop raise? Are they looking for the table cards at all? Players, who cbet on every flop are usually weak. Against a player like that you should try to raise, if you just happened to have a hand that could improve a lot. Of course, if your opponent plays 2 of 50 hands, they are likely to have something, even without good table cards. Avoid playing with them.

2. Pre-flop aggression
- Does your opponents play aggressive on pre-flop or do they just limp in? What kind of hands are they playing aggressive/what hands passive? Try to make as good notes as possible.

3. 3bettin
- Are they playing tight against any bet/raise or will they re-raise? When are they re-raising? Do they play aggressive only with monsters, or do they have guts to play you out with a strong draw, too?

4. Pot control
-Is your opponent strong and making solid bets on the table? Are they making the pot big enough to push all-in on the river? Or are they just putting minimun amount of money on the table after the flop? That could be a sign of weakness.

Try to watch your opponents play, use their weakness'... And make your run for the big pot!
