"outplay Your Opponent"

[MasterLJ 0]

This term is thrown around like a ball of dung in the monkey cages at your local zoo.I think of it as an almost meaningless cliche that I've been guilty of using a few times. That being said, how do you all define "outplaying" your opponent.

So, bluffing? What about getting your opponent to call a bet with an inferior hand?

in all seriousness, i think that "outplaying" your opponent is a combination of things... its being able to extract the most $$ out of them with your big hands, its being so sure of their holdings that you can bluff them out of all the right pots, make those real thin value bets without much worry about being beaten. and its being able to sniff out their traps, and make the right laydown against them at the hardest times.

making fewer mistakes than your opponent does

I think this is the most commonly used definition of it, as well as the absolute worst way to define it. I have a def. of it, but basically JJdylon put it to words already.The above statement just spews chips so many times. there are some hands, you just can't get some one to lay down and not every hand is going to present you with an opportunity to make some one lay down a better hand. This use of outplay opponents justifies far too many WB type preflop calls that are just bad on a million different levels.

When you force your OPP to make a mistake

Good answers, but, most of the time you have no idea what the other guy had, so, you don't know if you out played him, or just had a better hand. When the villian wins without a showdown you don't even know if your laydown was good.A lot of times you only assume you did well.Which is a good thing.

It's a combination of things, the result of which is that your only real opponent at the table is old fashioned bad luck.
