Poker Pros Excel at Reading Hands
November 22, 2011 - One of the skills that separate professional poker players from average players is their ability to read hands. You can almost see a progression from a player who goes from a newbie to a professional simply by how well they read opponents poker hands. When a player begins playing poker they usually just see their own hand and the board. The player that starts to learn the game and make some moves will see his own hand, the board, and he will start to try to put his opponent on a hand. The next stage is where a player sees his own hand, his opponent's hand, and what his opponent thinks he has. The final stage is where the poker pro is and that is where he sees his own hand, his opponents hand, what his opponent thinks he has plus if his opponent is capable of deception.
