Everyone has habits. Some of us have good ones, others have bad ones. One of the habits you should take a closer look at is shuffling. Yu-Gi-Oh players can be very careless when they are dueling especially when it comes to shuffling. Some shuffle their cards facing their opponent and give away very vital information about what is in their deck, hand, and field. Take a look at this picture for example.
This person special summoned Laquari. He has 3 cards in his hand and a Book of Moon, Monster Reborn, and a Laquari in his graveyard. As he shuffles, he reveals to you that he doesn’t have Starlight Road and Mirror Force in his hand. He also revealed that he had 2 Dimensional Prison in his deck as he shuffled and you might of caught a glimpse of a War Chariot. At this point, you determine what kind of situation you are in and strategize accordingly to capitalize. Now take a look at the next picture.
Same scenario only this time he is shuffling his deck the appropriate way, card faces facing down away from you so not to reveal any cards and you can only guess what he has in his hand. At this point you can only play it out. Information can be game breaking in close games so watch your habits or else they'll lose you games!
The essence of understanding in Yu-Gi-Oh! comes when you start to understand how everything interacts with one another. Once you grasp the concept, you'll be better equipped to win. So don't give up. Keep learning. Keep dueling.
