It is difficult in poker to say that one move is completely wrong or that another is completely right when you look at a given situation. There will always be lots of variables to take into account when judging which move might yield more success.

One of these variables that should always be present in your mind, is your opponents tendancies to respond in different ways. Some players can be described as ‘calling stations’. This type of player never wants to be bluffed and is willing to pay, sometimes heavily, to see if their hand is good enough to win. In this scenario, you would not want to attempt to bluff your opponent out with what you correctly read to be a marginal hand. In many scenarios this would be the right move, but in this case, the opponents general poker playing style means it would not be.

You can also apply this logic to decision making when faced with a very aggressive poker player. Where in some cases it would be right to bet your hand when you have something strong, against an aggressive player this would not necessarily be the best move. It is still a reasonable enough move on the face of it, but you have to consider the fact that setting a trap could be a more profitable decision. When you decide which move to make in a particular scenario, it is always imporant to remember that your opponents playing style and view of you as a player will often have a significant effect on how the hand works out for you.
