I was reading an article by DANIEL NEGREANU (again) and it was about how you could win against another player without looking at your cards. The key points he mentioned were:
• Position. It is a huge advantage to see the other player (s) actions before you avt. Check, bet, or even overbet the pots will give you key information as to the strength of their hands. You can use your position to steal pots.
• Reading tells. If you focus and pay attention, you'll pick up player information you don't even realize like how a player bets his chips a certain way.
• Scare cards. I'll quote a story he uses as an example to explain this.
"Doyle Brunson is a master at combining position and reading tells to determine the strength of his opponent's hand. Yet there is one more piece to the puzzle. Doyle can get inside his opponent's head and figure out what he's holding.
Let's say, for example, Doyle calls a tight, conservative player who raised from early position. Doyle won't even have to look at his hole cards. Instead, he'll combine position, tells and the board cards to outplay his opponent.
OK, now the flop comes eight of hearts, nine of hearts and seven of spades, and Doyle's opponent bets the whole pot. Based on previous hands against this player, Doyle believes that his opponent has to have a hand like a pair of aces, kings or queens, without ever looking at his cards, he makes the call.
Then the turn card comes — 10 of hearts. The opponent checks, and Doyle can now steal the pot by representing either the straight or the flush. His opponent can't call."
If you can read a player's body language tells it reveals the strength of the players cards, therefore, it will make beating the player so much easier.
