Sit And Go Strategy : Exploit Your Opponents by Taking Notes On Them

                Taking notes on your opponents is a very easy but not often used tactic by Sit and go players. All you have to do is right click on some player you have noticed doing something worth remembering , and make a note of it. Anyone who puts in enough hours playing in sitngo's at a certain buy in level will frequently encounter the same players. You can give yourself and instant edge over these players by making note of their tendencies. The G.I JOE theme comes to mind - "knowing is half the battle" . LOL

              Here are a list of "habits" worth taking note of and using to exploit your opponent , or to avoid them and give yourself an advantage over that player when you meet them at the next sit and go.

                   #1- How They play Big Hands - Pay attention to what players do when they have a monster hand like AA, KK, AK.etc.... How did they bet it before the flop ? And how did they play it after the flop? Take note of anything that stood out to you about how that player played the hand so when you get into a confrontation with them you know what to look for to determine whether or not you are up against a monster.

                   #2 - Bluffers - Make a note on someone you notice bluffing a lot. Also make a note of how much they are betting on their bluffs. If you can put someone on a bluff, a re-raise will take down the pot almost every time.

                   # 3 - Chasers - If you notice a player constantly calling bets all the way to the river on a draw, Take note. If you later find yourself in a situation where you thought you had the best hand until the 3rd diamond came on the river, and your against a player that you have noted will call you down on the flush draw may make it a little easier to answer your own question "did he hit his flush?" Being able to make a good decision here will often times save your tournament life!

                 # 4 - Dangerous Players - If you find yourself in a confrontation with a player who totally outplays you or traps you on a number of occasions. Take note . You will want to simply avoid that player if at all possible. If they've gotten you twice, why let them get you a third time. Eventually by watching and taking notes on this player it will make it easier for you to deal with them in the future, when a confrontation is inevitable.

                 # 5 - Anything You Think is Valuable Information - There are so many sit and go strategies out there right now , its hard to keep track of all the odd things some players are doing. Make a note of anything that stands out to you about the play of any certain player. When this player tries to use these tactics on you. You will already have a good idea what your up against.

                # 6 - Tight / Aggressive Players - If you notice that a player is tight, and is folding unless they have a monster or hit top pair . Take advantage of that player when you fell that they didn't hit. But, be very cautious if this player raises or re-raises you. On the other side of this ,  if you notice that a player is super aggressive, take note, and use this info to trap that player when you have a BIG hand , by using their aggressiveness against them.
