How should I use this software?

Well every person has their own style of playing and usually this shows after a few hands. Often it just takes about 10-20 hands to pick up different personalities at the table. By looking at the colors you can see if a person is loose/tight/aggressive/passive and instead of focusing on exact numbers you want to get a general feeling of how a player might act. It’s a little bit like playing live, you don’t have the exact numbers for each player at the table but you can have a feeling/knowledge of how they usually play.

How to take advantage of this information?

This is my personal view on this!

If I’m involved in a hand I try to pick up deviations from the normal play a opponent does. If I do that I’m cautious, I usually fold at this point. On the other hand if a player just continues to play according to his colors, I’m not that worried.

As we all know we do not hit our hands that often, this is also something I’m looking for when playing. Depending on my position and my opponents playing style, I can bet at the pot whether I have something or not. For example if a player HUD says that he does not like to call on the flop and turn, I’ll try to use this and bet. If it is the other way around, I won’t bet because I know that he will call my bets anyway. When we do hit the same information is equally important, how can we extract more bets from our opponents.

One other thing to watch is your own playing style. Are you predictive or not? My observations on this point is that I always try to adjust my own play according to how my opponent plays, so do I have a playing style then? Well, if everybody at the table plays the same way, then I guess I’m predictive and have a style.

These personal thoughts might be obvious and simple, but keeping track of all opponents is nothing simple. If you play more than one table it’s even harder. This colorful knowledge for each street is powerful.
