What’s the first thing you should look for?

At the outset you need to observe the size of the stacks because you want to see if there’s an amount of money worth winning. Look out for the small stacks as well as the big stacks and only play premium hands against the shorties. Don’t let them consistently steal blinds but try to avoid getting involved unless you have a big hand. I won’t gamble with them – you just don’t need to.

The second thing I do if I’m playing online is to look up the history I have of players on Poker Tracker or the site’s leaderboard.
