Here is some of my thinking that i use when i sit at any cash table online-i try to figure out the edge i have on each player based on my notes and how there playing-why is having an edge important at some point u may be in a big hand with someone u have an edge on thats a huge plus to have since info=good decisions which =$

here are some of the edges i note

1.what type of player are dag-tag-lag

2.are they playing abc poker or xyz are they new or seasoned players

3.are they playing scared

4.are they better than me-hows that an edge il explain-if there better they will be looking for plays that dont make sence-wait until ur on a monster hand with that player-switch up the story line ur selling him place bets that dont fit

5.will other player fold when they know there beat

6.to they get emotionaly attatched to hands

7.can u get inside there head putting them on tilt-i.e turning over a bluff on them or by typing great call when they get beat

8.betting -what there min hand utg to raise with is also what there min hand to raise with 1 and 2 b4 button

9.when im not in a hand i grade the play in progess when i see a great play i give player an A when i see a donkey suck out on a bad call i give him an F later on when making a big decision in a hand all this info is another edge i wanna know if players is making alot of good decisions

10.the bigest edge u can have is urself-playing without fear and playing to win-by making good decissions-based on good info

one last thing
what cards do i think they hold
what cards do they think i hold
and how would they expect me to play those 2 cards

i have no dilussions of granduer about ever being a great poker player-im etrong to most who know me-ive been around a min or two and figured a few things out on my online poker journy in the last 6 years online playing-i can tell u i beat a much better player than myself hu for 1k in 12 minutes-the edge

Some good info here. It's a good idea to categorize the players at the table as best you can. But, there's always a chance they can switch gears and throw you off. The head games in #7 can make you a target so make sure you're prepared for that. Personally I like to play a friendly game and just bide my time, but that doesn't stop others from categorizing me as a donk . If you truly think there's a better player than you at the table maybe you should try switching tables, it's best to think of yourself as the best player, it helps you to play with some confidence. @benspocket: Is merge really that different from other sites?...other then the over abundance of Americans?
