Telling a story
There's one thing which is bothering me very much when im reading posts at this forum. Many hands which have been posted have been played very well or at least close to it. Nevertheless, there's one point which IMO have been forgotten relatively often: storytelling.
Many times a hero of a hand thinks through villain's hand range, many other necessary circumstances and so on. But same hero forgets quite often to think what kind of story he is telling to the villain.
F.e. situations where c-betted (correctly) with AA, then checked the turn (some times correctly), and then folded river to a bet with the same AA. I think this line gives such a little information about opponents hand compared to the fact that hero has told a story to the villain he has close to nothing (f.e. AK on small board) folding to the river bet is rarely correct. This is just my opinion, though, and I would like to here your thoughts about this situation.
