I need some asstance with reading players and identifying betting patters. Also how to exploit what I see. I particulary play online low No-Limit Hold'em tournaments. Can anyone offer me some advise and/or good books.
Thanks in advance F&R |

For NL holdem tournaments I highly recommend Dan Harrington's three Volumes.

Play one table, pay attention. That's all there is to it.

I think it really has to experience. It's that feeling of "was that 1 sec or 2 secs" that they took to bet and what that might mean. I think you literally have to play 1000s of hours before you can "feel" the patterns. And you start to trust you instincts.

I've noticed that if you just sit and watch when you are not involved in a hand (not be distracted by TV, reading or whatever) and watch how they bet and what cards they show, it becomes easy on the lower level tournaments after a while.

Re: Reading Players / Better Patterns
I'm guessing that "interface issues" will make it hard to get great information out of timing. There are a ton of things that can be happening around the remote player or even simply mousing errors or so forth... so there could be a lot of "noise" giving you false clues.
For example, when I play on my laptop, the darned touch pad gets finicky and sometimes I have to spend a second or two getting the mouse "on" the button so I can push it. |
