There are players at the table who sometimes fold A-10 (and they even show their cards before folding), and then the same player in the next hand or two goes all-in or calls with 8-6. So you just sit there wondering what’s going on in their heads and how they think)))

What does my opponent think I have? Poker is not just a card game, but also about building stories.
Am I making this decision based on reason or emotion? Frustration, fear, or overconfidence can lead to mistakes, so recognizing your own emotions is an essential part of good decision-making.
Is it better to play it safe or take a risk in this hand? A good poker player can recognize when playing it safe is wise and when taking risks will yield a better result in the long run. And it always depends so much on situation what one should do.

A hell lot of questions are asked when it’s an easy hand to fold or back-off!
The real moment of asking questions consciously to yourself is when you’re deep inside a hand and huge stacks are involved!
That is the moment when most players’ brain freezes and they make emotional decisions!
