When playing online poker you have tools at your disposal that allow you to gather information on your opponents; from how many hands they play, to how they play them.

Live poker is obviously different in that respect as you have to obtain the reads yourself but Gaelle Baumann is gathering intel as we type this. Like many poker players Baumann keeps herself entertained between hands with her iPad and thanks to the free internet here in this resort she is currently typing each of her opponent's names into a well-known poker database to see who has any winnings to their name! A crafty and clever idea from the French woman who finished 10th in the WSOP Main Event.
