Poker Game Of Perceptions
While many players evaluate the possibilities of what their opponents may hold judging by the cards they see and how they are betting, it is equally important to consider what cards your opponent thinks you hold. For example, while his play indicates types of hands he may have, so too does your play indicate some possibilities about what you may be holding. Poker, after all, is a game of logic and assessment. Intelligent players are always evaluating and reevaluating situations according to the actions of their opponents. While you are studying your opponents, they are studying you. What are you representing by your betting—a strong hand, a Weak hand, a lock? Are you bluffing?
As you analyze what you think they think you have, their actions become more understandable, and you'll have more information to draw from in making your decisions. For example, in seven-card stud, if your first three open cards are spades, and you've been betting according to a pattern that would lend credence to a flush, you'll have a lot more information about an opponent when his aggressive opening betting gets much more tentative as the third flush card is revealed.
