How do you find your opponent's weakness?

[Mensabum]

So many possibilities:
- they can’t kick well
- they can’t bank well
- they can’t combo well
- they can’t jump well
- they can’t make loooonnnngggg shots well
- their CB control is not that good so they have trouble breaking up clusters
- they can’t deal with slow or fast play well
- they can’t shoot elevated over a ball well
- they can’t shoot frozen on the cushion well
- they are easily frustrated by safeties
- they are easily flustered by being down early in a match
- they get down on themselves when they dog a shot

All of these behaviors are exploitable to leverage if you pay attention to their body language, the things they say out loud or mutter to themselves, and their shot execution. Don’t play on your phone. Don’t watch the football game on the TV screen. Don’t talk up the cute server. Watch your opponent at the table.

How did you get the blueprint of my game??

playing the percentages that give you the best chance of winning does you no good unless you can factor in what he is likely to do. then you can base your shot on all the info.

you can have say two possible shots. one is against a player equal to you
and one say inferior.

your best chance of winning that game is by choosing the right shot against him.

The skill of the opponent definitely goes with the percentage equation. If the guy I'm playing can only run a few balls at best, I'm pretty much never playing safe, playing anyone above 550, choices change, playing someone similar to my level, there will be way more safes played.
