Message: [QUOTE="ChuckTs, post: 422233, member: 467"] Good point, but the point that Harrington makes is that is a general rule for people you have no information about. Of course if you know a player to do something Nguyen-ish and say "call this and it's all over baby" and actually hold the nuts, then you have to adjust accordingly. This is a general rule which applies best to newbies who don't know how to conceal their hand strength. 'What cards you play' and 'what cards you show' are two completely different things. This was a point that definitely had an impact on me while reading - say you get AK, AA and AQ five hands in a row, and win them all without a showdown. People won't know what you held, and will peg you as a super-aggressive player (assuming you bet the hands as hard as you should have), instead of the TAG style that you're actually playing. Good stuff, Tim [/QUOTE]
