If you are in a cardroom or playing online, don't just dive into a table's action:
- Take a seat and wait for the big blind to come your way before playing.
- Use that time to watch the other players and see if you can spot early signs of agressive or loose players (those who are betting or raising on every hand, particularly if they are taken to a showdown and have a weak hand), and definitely try to identify the weakest players at the table.
