Default Re: Question about those highrollers and their skill.

I did not want my screen name revealed, but since diablo has done it, I will go ahead and answer.

There are 3 levels of poker. You reach the first level after you understand the fundamentals, pot odds, when to raise to knock players out, etc. You know the "standard" play in every hand. At the second level, you start to make read-based plays. You bluff-raise the river to knock that maniac off his ace-high with your queen-high. You call the river with 22 on a AK484 board because the guy bluffs all the time.

The third level you do not see much on 2p2 because only a few understand it. It is when you begin to feel poker. There is no more thought. You just feel when your decisions are right. You can call with ten high and KNOW it is good. You can check out Daniel Negreanu's blog and see him talking of such things.

Once you reach the third level, then you can make the millions. GL.
