When i try to read the opponent's two hole cards exactly, it's not only too hard but sometimes it seems bother my game.
So Which is the good way?
1. Read all two cards exactly.
2. Just think 'he has straght?' 'he has pair? 'he has the hand better than me?' like that?
And how you do about this problem?
Hi uks1111,
You don't necessarily have to put villain on a specific hand. That is usually impossible against a good villain.
What you need to do is put him on a range and then figure out how many combos of bluffs/value he will have.
So if you are for example on the river and villain bets, you should not try to guess villains hand but instead you should know all the hands in his range that beats you/that you beat.
If your doing that and your opponent knew about what your doing it can be your disadvantage. He can make you a fool by making some trap during the game. He can even pretend about his cards.
I think you should read this if you already haven't, it's a 4 part I am currently reading and I think it is a must!

This is one of the best articles I have read in a very long time. Can definitely recommend it when it comes to hand reading! The length can be a bit intimidating, but it goes very thoroughly through the thought process you need.
