Message: [QUOTE="jacksprat, post: 1324823, member: 58148"] IMO, we cannot learn very much from watching the top NLHE players on tv. We are shown action hands only. 1 - Bad beats. 2 - Bluffs that work. 3 - Bluffs that don't work. 4 - Pro's on tilt. 5 - Hands where two players hit good flops. 6 - The final hand. Only number five is of any educational value. I would like to see a whole six man tournament, from the start to the final hand. Many a time, I see the chip stack sizes after an hour or so (viewing time), they annonce - third blind level has just begun and some guy is in the lead, but we havn't seen him play a single hand! To fully understand any plays from this point on, we need to know how the guy is in the lead. 1 - Winning PF. 2 - Continuation betting. 3 - Check raising. Numerous other reasons, but how ever he got there it was cnsidered to tedious to show on tv. [/QUOTE]
