  Do you remember learning about Pavlov back in Science class? The guy who did the experiments with the bells and the dogs? If you do, you'll remember that Pavlov trained his dogs to know they were about to be fed when he rang a bell. He knew they knew by the fact that whenever he rang the bell, the dogs would start salivating, even if he didn't have food for them.



  That might have made Pavlov kind of a jerk. You think about those poor dogs hopping up and getting all ready to have a grub any time the bell rang, and you feel kind of bad for the guys. Anyways, you can train your poker opponents in the same way Pavlov trained his dogs. In fact, eliciting a Pavlovian response to your actions from your opponents is one of the best things you can do in poker. You may need to leave some openings in the early stages of the game to get your opponents making the right (meaning, wrong from them) decisions, convince them you're weak and give them the impression you can be taken down.



  When you've done that, you'll have got them on the first step to reacting in a Pavlovian manner to your moves. They'll jump at any perceived opportunity, and you'll get them into a trap.
