Reading your opponents involves paying attention to both their behavior and patterns. Key indicators include facial expressions, body language, and speech patterns, which can reveal their emotions or intentions. By observing how they respond in different situations, you can identify consistent reactions or changes that may signal confidence, uncertainty, or deception. Additionally, understanding the context of the game or conversation is crucial; for example, if stakes are high, people might act more cautiously. Experience and practice in analyzing these cues can help you anticipate their next moves or intentions.
