in live poker, there is something called reads. you should become familiar with that term.

Yes, I am somewhat aware of these "reads" of which you speak in this "poker" game. Now, if the board had read 3-5-6-7 (cardplayer incorrectly reported it as such, but hypothetically speaking), and the guy smoothcalled on the flop, and then got into a raising war on the turn, how good do you think your KK might be then?

That was what I was referring to in my earlier post - I'm quite sure that Raymer, as good as he is, didn't put his opponent on nothing but a queen-high flush draw with that betting pattern. Then again, I'm sure someone with your incredible level of skill could discern whether or not he was holding 44 or Ac4c or AA or 33 or 55 or 66 or 77 based on how many times he scratches his nose before he bets.

But thanks for the tip about these "reads". I think I'm getting the hang of it, too - for example, reading your post, I've got a read on you as being a complete ass. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
