Tournament Strategies
After receiving pocket cards, you are immediately faced with a choice: play your cards and either raise or call the blinds, or fold.

Poker players can be divided
Poker players can be divided into two basic types. Those that don't pay any attention to their play or that of others and those players that try to give off misleading information about the strength of their hand.
This latter group of players
This latter group of players will often, do and say, things in an attempt to fool their opponents about the strength of their hand. Once you have identified these players, it is easy to get a read on them. Just believe the opposite of what they are trying to tell you.
