Judging these players is very important. Be flexible and spontaneous. You should be very spontaneous with your actions. If you think your player is playing a little defensive, take full use of the opportunity. Even if you decide to play it safe, don’t hesitate to avail ready chance. Also take care of the discarded cards. They play a big role in anticipating.
Always try to have your odds of winning better than the pot odds. Pot odds actually state the ratio of the pot’s size to the bet’s size necessary to continue in the pot, whereas the implied odds are not dependent on the money presently in the pot but the predictable size of the pot at the end of hand. You should raise only under particular conditions only. It will give an immense occasion to win. If you have a better hand i.e. you think you are in a winning situation or you have an edge over your opponent, you should never fear raising. It will enable you to win with a bigger pot. There is another scenario which calls for definite raising. Drive out your opponent’s hand. You can also raise when you plan to bluff or semi bluff.
