INFERENCES

Most poker players are generally consistent in different kinds of situations.

The situations don’t have to the same, but the theoretical perspective that the player is using will probably not vary much from situation to situation, so that you can often make a lot of inferences.

For example, if a player tends to frequently raise pre-flop with speculative hands, then you can also expect that player to play draws very aggressively.

A player who flops a middle-sized flush and checks and calls to the river will probably not play draws aggressively.

Such a player will also probably not draw to a straight if the board shows a flush draw and will not often draw to a flush if the board is paired.

Knowing what kinds of hands a player probably does not have can often be just hand as valuable as knowing what kinds of hands he does have.
