I want to start a thread of certain plays to put on certain people, Im sure alot of mine will be regarded as fairly basic, but please dont criticize, just provide your own or provide something better to do, or why a certain play is a bad idea.Against players who like to call and bluff when scare cards come out.Bet your draws and check it when you make them, most of the time they will end up bluffing all of their chips off to you.When you see two to a flush on the flop and bet big and have a player quickly call, this usually means a flush draw. When this flush doesnt come out, players love to all-in bluff on the river, Ive taken down huge pots with marginal hands by recognizing this pattern.Players who consistantly like to raise in the blinds when everyone limps. Two optionsLimp with QQ to AA and either just call or pump it all in after they raiseCall with garbage and bet big on the flop regardless of what comes out, this is a bit dangerous, but works often.And against constant bluffers, in a 3 way or head up pot, check top pair to them.(very remedial, but people dont seem to grasp that this is how you even out the scale, taking back those chips from all those pots the bluffers have stolen.)Anything else would be greatly appreciated, please dont shy away from posting because you are worried about criticism.

Players who minimum bet when bluffing. I raise big everytime. Or call and then bet HUGE on the next street.The minimum raise is a sign of strength in a lot of hands and has saved me tons of money when laying down a marginal hand.The C/r bluff against a blind steal. I like to call and let the bet again on the turn. If I have something I smooth call and hope they bet the river, if I don't I sometimes make a play and raise. Not everyone C/r bluffs a blind steal, but it's a pattern to watch for.I'll try and think of more. Good post.

People who can't stand being checked to twice are easy to set up for a big trap.
