Thanks for the reference - nice read indeed.

So if you have a little voice in your head that says “call, the pot is big” that happens to talk at the same time as your voice that says, “it’s a value bet, he has the nuts for sure”, you must try to externalize which one of these unconscious thoughts is more apt. In my personal experience, I have found the voice that tells me my opponents hand to be far more accurate than any other voice or inclination I have at the table.
A few times recently I have had a flash of insight where I had a thought like 'I know he has a set of 5's or better and I am drawing dead' or some such kind of thing and been right. Or 'I know that second 4 could not have helped him and I 3-bet my 2 pair' etc.
Maybe this is why I subconciously prefer tight games - I can better put a player on a hand where loose game they could have any two cards.
I wonder if my hand reading skills are getting better and I need to listen to the voice a little more.
