| I do think that many good players have an "intuitive sense" where they can read opponents minds and hands. I don't think this is anything extraordinary, I just think that it is a subliminal pickup of information through tells and logical associations. Developing that "sixth sense" can HUGELY increase your edge in poker. Roy Cooke | ||

But, you shouldn't be intimidated by this. If you watch carefully, there will often be players who are winning despite the odds against them and who may seem psychic. But if you come back the next night, sure, someone is performing this miracle all over again. But, you know what? It probably isn't the same player. Here's one way you can psychologically condition yourself to accept the fact that poor players get lucky. Just remind yourself: Poor players take turns seeming to be psychic for short periods. But they all lose in the long run. Straight Flushes, Mike Caro | ||
