Message: [QUOTE="John A, post: 2147752, member: 88730"] Can you try rephrasing this, I'm not sure I entirely understand. But one point I'll make based on what I think is your second question. I think a big mistake of most people is they assume people play like they do. I think it's partly in our nature to do so, and people also tend to project how they see things onto others. Now with most TAG's and LAG's in poker, there will be a good amount of similarities because a lot of people are reading the same material and approaching poker in a similar way. However, there are generally a couple of major differences, and I've talked about these for years. People who have taken the Pokerzion courses know this as the believer/ non-believer concept. Generally most people will tend to believe someone when they are betting and raising, and give them credit to an array or believe most of the time to believe more than half the time. They can fold to pair in a good amount of situations, and they can be pushed off some slightly bigger hands to shoves and really big bets. Non-believers tend to find a reason to call, and usually tend to bluff more, so they assume others bluff a good amount as well. They won't tend to believe quite as often and are always justifying a reason to call a bet or raise. That tends to be a divergent point, even for regulars in your games. It's something you want to pay attention to and it happens at all skill levels. I've played high stakes games with some good players that I would heavily categorize non-believers. It was just how they approached the game, and when you realized it, it was easily exploitable. Large over bets with big hands, shoves, etc... [/QUOTE]
