I can basically auto pilot with the level one thinking. It's the level two that I struggle most with. It seems that at show down I'm mystified by what I see at times. There's times when I'll bet into someone on the flop, assume I beat and then just give up, I'll give it one more shot on the river because of a scare card, get called, and since I have nothing, maybe just an over card, I expect the pot to get shipped to the caller only to have it sent my way.
Maybe my problem is that since I play micro limits, some people aren't even playing at level one and they have no motivation for betting or calling other than to gamble it up.
It seems that the only people I can reliably put on a hand are those with the most predicable betting patterns. Also, I never seem to play against any one opponent long enough to see if I'm right. I've been taking notes, but they're usually more warnings that they're the type to limp with AK and AA than anything else.
Are there certain characteristics that you see that lend you to getting a read on a player?
