celeb pocker – Choosing your Target
celebpocker – In most instances, we do not get to choose our opponents in a hand, as this is determined by the cards we are dealt, but we can be prepared for coming up against certain players on our table. It is important I feel, to mentally single out particular players weaknesses by studying them as they play their hands.
By doing this, we are essentially choosing the targets at the table that we think will call us down if we have a good hand, or indeed fold if we bluff them, more often than not. By doing this, we are laying the foundations of what decisions we will make if we do end up involved in a big pot with a particular player. Having those guidelines in your mind, will help immensely when the time comes.
There are other factors too which can be important in deciding which players to take on with your hands, and how to play them, such as the chipstacks both you, and your prospective opponent have. If for instance you have 45% of the chips in play, another player also has 45% and another has 10% of the chips in play, you want the shorter stack to go out of the tournament, and so you should be less inclined to take on the bigger stack unless you get dealt a strong hand.
As I said at the start though, we cannot forsee the hands we will be dealt and often, these will determine which pocker players we end up contesting a big pot with.
