Competition | n/a | n/a
Many people and professionals alike gauge soft competition by the view flop % alone. While a high % would indicate a looser game, it doesn't necessarily mean the players are playing weak poker. Also, a large amount of traffic is often correlated with many soft players fish. Keep in mind, with more fish in the water, more sharks soon follow. The trick to finding an easy game in the middle to low limits is simple, keep an eye on the table and watch for weak play, loose calls and players looking to draw out or playing weak aces. Know your game, know your strengths and abuse those strengths. For more information on poker play please see our Strategies section.
