Pro poker players look for many patterns in other players. They watch how opponents bet, raise and fold. Players with a pattern like always checking on the flop or raising too much on the river stand out. Pro players memorize the common thought processes and strategies that amateur players use. They notice tells, or subtle cues that reveal information, in other players like fidgeting, sighing or frequent drinking. Being aware of these common patterns helps pro players make better predictions and strategy choices to outplay their opponents.

The range of hands that opponents might hold given on their actions throughout the hand is examined by experts. They narrow down the probable hands their rivals may be holding by taking into account variables including pre-flop betting, position, bet sizing, and prior hand history. This enables individuals to make better informed choices while playing.

Folding Patterns: How often a player folds their hand can reveal information about their playing style and hand strength. Pro players pay attention to folding patterns to gain insights into their opponents' strategies.

Poker pros often have to play long hours, especially if they are trying to make a living playing high-stakes games. This can take a toll on their physical and mental health.
Isolation: Poker pros often spend a lot of time alone, either playing online or at a casino. This can lead to loneliness and social isolation.
