-What hand do you put your opponent on?
Based off of:
Betting pattern
Past play
Gut feel
Timing (careful)
Texture of the flop
Experience (is the player smart enough to make this type of play?)

-Are the pot odds correct?
Even if you’re pretty sure he’s bluffing, is the amount of chips necessary to make a play worth it if you’re wrong?

-What type of opponent am I playing against? What strategy should I take to most effectively beat him? How can I maximize extraction?

-Anything I can take advantage of? For example:
He calls too much OOP
He limps on the button too often
He plays too straightforward
He has a definite betting pattern
He is too aggressive/passive
He is tilted, drunk, or high

-Do I have to take pots or can I patiently wait for them to come to me?

I wrote this in a hurry and probably left out a ton. Please comment on this and add your own insight. Thanks =)


HAPPY THANKSGIVING ALL!!!
