Online it takes time. People are stupid online. Watch betting patterns and pay attention. Don't tune people out while you aren't playing. In person, definatly pay attention to people. Watch yourself. Try to develop a solid pattern of play and don't stray from it.

10th out of 45 is okay, depends how long you have been playing...not good enough to win you any money....not advising you to go out to Vegas and play. Reading people is all intution...you just feel it! There is no skill to reading people or "guessing" what kind of cards they have. The one way you can force people off of a hand is to bet. Sure people will bluff, but most of the time if you bet enough, you can force out any bluff. Tough to do online though!!! So is reading people...VERY TOUGH TO DO ONLINE!!!!!!
