threeparrots 0 Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 I have suddenly realized that I am excellent at putting people on hands when I am not involved in the hand, but when I am in the pot I am not as good. Also, I am very comfortable in the limits I play so the issue is not that I'm timid or scared when I'm in a pot. Any thoughts? Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know which pro recommended this, but he suggested you tried to get out yourself and try to view the action as a bystander without taking your own hand in consideration. It helped me quite a bit. Link to post Share on other sites
threeparrots 0 Posted September 25, 2006 Author Share Posted September 25, 2006 I guess I should have been more clear. In my opinion *nothing* changes in my mind in hands that I'm in or not. I DO think objectively on both sides. Link to post Share on other sites

I DO think objectively on both sides.But sometimes you can only think so "objectively" beacuse you don't know what the other guy is holding (Not villian, other competitor), but if YOU were in the hand with the VIllian then you would know what you were holding...Make sense?

blacktie31 0 Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 When you are in a hand you know your cards and will have a tendency to color your reads to what you either want the opponent to have, or what you do not want him to have. Link to post Share on other sites

FatBurger 0 Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 You're better at putting someone on a hand when you're not involved for the same reason that blind people aren't racist. Link to post Share on other sites
Dan The Man 0 Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 I just noticed this today while playing a SNG. I probably didn't play some hands as well as I should have because I didn't have as solid of a read on my opponents. Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe a sticky note? Link to post Share on other sites
