In addition to whether or not he wants a call, you have to figure out WHY he does(n't) and look at how your hand compares to the hands he would (not) want a call with. No good knowing that he's bluffing and (thinks he) wants you to fold if you can't beat any bluffs. At the other end of the spectrum, if we have the nuts we don't care what hand he's valuebetting.

In between these extremes we need to first determine wether or not he's betting for value, and what range he's doing it with if so. This obviously comes down to reads on villain and our own image at the table, and we put him on a range accordingly. Ie, if villain is a fish, he often thinks 2pair/set is a monster on this board, and we can call with a wider range (which means that sometimes I'm not folding top set on this boards), whereas a strong player might have nuts/air always, and another strong player might have both nuts, air and occasional medium strength holdings.

Hmm, I don't really know where I'm going with this. I might try to continue on this tomorrow, been up 30 hours now, lol.
