A summary of all the poker news that is related to approaches in poker would spell common sense quite loud.  The common sense thing always looks for it the hand that I hold is good.  If it is good I will bet, if it is not good, I am out of the game.  If we are going to summarize things in these terms, the game might be pretty simple.  Strategies can be somewhat differing than just basic common sense when it comes to higher levels of play.

Almost all poker news does suggest that the common sense thing about poker decisions should always be borne in mind.  It is pretty possible for a player to overlook the basic commonsense based logics and get trapped for ignoring them.  This particular trait also props up in expert players and this will be frequently criticized in poker news and media commentaries.

Truly, the wide majority of games in poker are not just fancy, complicated games but most of them are pretty obvious about a major percentage of the result they can bring in at any poker table.  Most of the poker news about the thought pattern of players when you are frequently folding can mean that:-
•    They think nothing about you folding very often.
•    They might be thinking that you are getting pretty bad cards in your hand most of the time.
•    They are happy that you are out and they do not really care because they have lot of opponents to think about, the less number of players the better.
•    They might think you are tight and you are waiting for a perfect hand.

When you are folding too often people suspect you to be the best player only if they have known you for too long, otherwise, that will be the last impression they will have about you.  So, never panic that if you are folding a lot, people will be too careful when you are actually playing.  This kind of idea is already up in several of the poker news relayed in the media.  There has been poker news about people laying down to reputation and beliefs when actually the players were not good at all.

Though the kind of impression that you make in the table about your playing style matters a lot, poker news have repeatedly proven that the impression that your opponents might have about you need not be that which you think they are assuming about you always.
