While you are playing the Folding Game, take the time to see what your opponents are doing. Not so much for any physical tells but their betting tells. A lot players go hog wild betting on mid to low pairs in NL games figuring they can protect them and that they would win a drawing contest should somebody call them with AK etc.

Is that what they are doing? Are there players trying to be sneaky and just calling high pocket pairs? Watch for things like that.
