Message: [QUOTE="Dorkus Malorkus, post: 376281, member: 6020"] Good players of course will "change gears" regularly for the exact reason that it makes them difficult to read. But you imply that they are poor players, in which case they are most likely not randomizing their play because they want to make themselves difficult to read, but for more basic reasons. Take a mental note of anything that might prompt these changes in their playing style, from having a few drinks to talking about a certain subject to seeing someone win the hand before with a flopped full house with 93o in the BB to playing differently when they're in a hand with a certain player. Everyone has their own 'patterns'. If they are really bad players, they may just appear to be playing "randomly" because they have no idea what they're doing. In that case, I usually tend to treat them as I would calling stations, value bet where possible and hope they fancy-play themselves to a quick death. [/QUOTE]
