How to Succeed in
Poker Freerolls Part 1 looked mostly at what cards to play and when to play them, in Part 2 we take a look at other factors that you need to be aware of in order to succeed in
freerolls.7. Watch your opponents and learn their playing style. You can learn a lot of valuable poker information just by watching your opponents playing style and habits at
table. Do they bet almost every hand, do they sit back and wait for a good hand (like you should!), do they fold easily at
first sign of a raise, do they just want to see a free card, is there a "maniac" who raises every hand?
8. Concentrate on
game. If you want to find out how your opponents play, you need to concentrate fully on what you're doing. Don't write emails while your playing or surf other sites, and turn off that TV!
9. Avoid hesitation. If you hesitate before you make your move then it is seen as a sign of weakness. In
freerolls you don’t have
luxury of watching your opponent's reactions and one of
few "tells" that you have is
speed at which your opponent makes his move. The worst sin here is to hesitate for a while then check, you have just told
table you don't have a hand but you want to see
next card. You will simply be raised straight out of
hand.
