Some players might be building up pots only to lose them some minutes later into the game. It might be very informative for the future game to determine who is the biggest loser and why they keep losing. It might be because of a limp fold or other might call just before a flop or fold when bets are keeping on rising.
2. Identify the Biggest Winner
There would obviously be a lot to learn from the biggest winner. Watching that person might help you determine some tips and ways to emulate that person’s gaming style. Once you have cracked the biggest winner’s style, you might even be able to beat him at his own game.
3. Look for Tells During the Hand
Try to determine a pattern and look for habits whether physical or verbal that would give away the strategy of the player.
