PICKING UP TELLS

One of the things that can help in your poker game is picking up tells of other flush draws by keeping track of the habits of your opponents. What hands do they play from early position?

With some tight players, for example, if you have the Queen of a suit, the board has the King,and the player limped in from early position,he does not have a flush draw.

That’s because he wouldn’t have come in from early position without at least an Ace, King, or Queen, or a pair, and he would have raised with any of the hands with an Ace that he would play from that position.

Pay attention to hands players open with from various positions and start building a Turbo Texas Holdem profile of the players who play in your game regularly.
