Do You Need a Crystal Ball to See Into the Future?
Poker is not just about the cards you are dealt, but also how you react and adjust to your opponent's tendencies. When you understand your opponent's tendencies, you do not necessarily need a crystal ball to know how to play against him or her and look ahead into the future.
Poker author and ambassador Lee Jones proves this point in his PokerStars blog titled, Seeing the Future. His blog describes a recent situation in a low buy-in live tournament at a local Isle of Man casino where he approaches a an opponent that played a solid loose-aggressive style, but didn't get out of line post flop.
So how do you approach this opponent, and how do you look into the future? Do you need a crystal ball? Not if you are Lee Jones.
