This is a read that I'm tempted to say is really the most important of all: Players who want to attack you over and against players who are scared of you.

I've actually noticed a LOT of variation in this regard, even the same player on different days, and, if you can keep track of it (which usually isn't that hard), it's also a goldmine imo.

What is also true is that most players sit down at the table with the desire to attack everyone. That's really the reason why tight play usually wins. Tight play is a balanced strategy for when to attack on the basis of hand strength.

But, after a while of playing against the same players, this can definitely change. If you don't play many hands and consistently turn over strong hands when it goes to showdown, then most observant players just try to stay out of your way. That is, they're now playing scared.

Well, if you have a player like that, who's a little scared of you, play back at you, you need to re-evaluate your hand VERY carefully. He probably has a true monster. But that's a player you want to semi-bluff (or even flat out bluff perhaps) at every reasonable opportunity. You want to win lots of small to medium pots against this player.

Against the attackers, you try to give them the opportunity to bet into you when you have an acceptably strong hand, and you play tight.
