Message: [QUOTE="IADaveMark, post: 6369697, member: 490208"] The concept of "intuition" is actually a combination of a number of things. In Malcolm Gladwell's book, [URL="https://www.amazon.com/Blink-Power-Thinking-Without/dp/0316010669/"][I]Blink[/I][/URL], he talks about how experts can get to the point where they just "know" something but—despite their knowledge—can't exactly explain why. Similarly, Nobel winner Daniel Kahneman's [URL="https://www.amazon.com/Thinking-Fast-Slow-Daniel-Kahneman-ebook/dp/B00555X8OA/"][I]Thinking Fast and Slow[/I][/URL] talks about the difference between fast, instinctive thought and slower, deliberative thought. There are times when both are more powerful and times when either one can get us in trouble. Both of those kind of map over into the concept of "intuition". When you talk about the 4 stages of learning, you have: [LIST=1] [*]Unconscious Incompetence—you don't even know you suck [*]Conscious Incompetence—you know about the skill but don't know how to do it [*]Conscious Competence—you can do the skill but you have to focus on it [*]Unconscious Competence—you can do the skill automatically [/LIST] Stage 4 would be that "intuition" part. So you can study things like basic strategy, GTO play, reading betting patterns, reading tells, etc., but if you are still constantly having to think about every move that someone (including yourself) makes, you are in stage 3. Some of those things will start to bleed into stage 4 with practice. However, it isn't an "all or nothing" thing. Sometimes, alarm bells will go off and you won't necessarily be able to ascertain or explain why. (e.g. "I just felt that he was bluffing.") That's something happening in stage 4. Now whether or not it is the [I]correct [/I]read... well... that's where the fun is, isn't it? [/QUOTE]
