Learning to read opponents is key!

Wow! I have been reading alot of the recommended poker books to learn the pot odds, good starting hands, preflop, flop, and river play, etc... and I have become a winning player following all the suggestions in these books. Then, I came across Profiling Poker "Nitwits", read it, and tried these ideas as well with my game, and now my win rate has doubled! This book teaches you how to read your opponents, study their mannerisms at the table and while they are in a hand, and also helps you figure out based upon their appearance what kind of plays they would be inclined to make. Working on trying to figure out what your opponents will to do in any situation at the table, coupled with making the right percentage plays is definately key! I felt that something was missing from my game before I read this book...now I know. I had to learn to play the game from both angles, and I did. I'm thrilled this book came along...Thanks!

Profiling to Help Your Game

I was looking for a book that gave me insight into the strange thinking processes of my opponents when I came across Profiling Poker Nitwits. Conly goes into great depth in myriad aspects of what makes people think the way they do. I found after reading this book that I looked at people with a new ability to figure them out, and more easily predict the way they play. I was amazed at the detail with which Conly was able to disect different personality types and all the other things that make a person do what they do. He lays out his techniques for "profiling" people clearly, and makes you think of things that you've never even considered. I've been able to make better decisions, especially early in a session when I first encounter a tough situation against someone who I don't know at all. I highly recommend this book and also recommend reading it more than once. I know I'll get something new out of it each time I read it!
