Message: [QUOTE="Pokerpoet2, post: 5943353, member: 430261"] The simple answer is play thousands of games, and millions of hands, Intuition comes with practice and developing a gut feeling about a certain way your opponent plays at you. I was involved early on in a Tourney with Ace/Ten suited and was raised pre-flop so obviously I wanted to see the flop, so I called a 3x bet. The flop gave me top pair with nothing else so I checked and Villain bet into me (continuation bet) I naturally called and the turn didn't make any difference to the hand, so I checked again, and again Villain bet out at me about half pot, so I called again. The River was an awkward card that could have created a straight but he would have had to be playing 7/4 to have made his hand. I checked again and immediately he shoved all-in. Now I was stunned! Why go all-in if he hadn't made the nuts? I thought about the hand and remembered he Raised pre-flop so could not possibly be raising with a hand like 7/4, there were no flush possibilities, and the only thing I could think of was he raised with a pocket pair and had made Trips? Or had he? after I had thought about it the only thing that could beat me is if he had made trips or two pair, So reluctantly I called. Pocket Kings was all he had and I took him out there with my top pair of Aces. Call it Intuition or just a gut feeling. I just did not believe the hand he was trying to sell me. Sometimes you need to rely on your gut feelings or Intuition to make the right decisions, and that only come with time. When the fun Stops, STOP! [/QUOTE]
