Poker lessons I've learned 4: Study your opponents.

I had to take a few moments at the table to observe the other players and when they folded. I had to pay attention to the bets, what position they were in and the cards they showed at the end of the hand.

Yes, bet sizes are important to observe and especially to see what cards they are opening with with these bets.

But since I only play freerolls, in these tournaments players usually do not follow a reise pattern, they usually bet for the value of the hand and worse, limping in from the beginning of the table with high pairs to set a trap, making it difficult to read, but good notes help in future tournaments.

Sim, é importante observar o tamanho das apostas e, principalmente, ver com quais cartas eles estão abrindo essas apostas.

Mas como eu só jogo freerolls, nesses torneios os jogadores geralmente não seguem um padrão de reise, eles geralmente apostam pelo valor da mão e, pior, entram de limp desde o começo da mesa com pares altos para armar uma armadilha, dificultando a leitura, mas boas notas ajudam em torneios futuros.

Especially the 888poker Bronze Level Freerolls.

Bronze Freerolls, the field is usually very large, you waste a lot of time, to end up winning very little, that's why I don't even play.

Looking at the hands player show is a very valuable tool that we can use. While most people say it takes 100 or more hands just to get an idea of a player and this is true when a player actually shows their hand it gives you a lot more information than just trying to figure out how much they're playing. I can literally have a decent determination on a new player I've never seen before after just one hand. Now it doesn't mean it's right or perfect let's say a guy opens up a hand from under the gun and shows 76o. Well that is enough to determine overly loose player. Under the gun should be playing tight and seven six is in the bottom 50% of hands. This is what I mean you can get a lot of information in just one hand. Now let's say he misses the flop turn and river and his bedding all three. He has no draws no pair and all the cards are overs. At this point you could almost put them in a laggy area in just one hand because he's over betting 3 streets trying to bluff you.

any information about the opponent is valuable for making a decision and how you get it does not matter
Good luck
