You Should Also Know...

Many novice players can be caught unaware by a freerolling opponent. If you suspect that your opponent has the same hand as you, but you would be on a freeroll to a better hand, get him to commit all of his chips. In a cash game, you may sacrifice a little rake, but you also have a risk-free shot at stacking your opponent.
