Re: Your Worst Poker Enemy: Intuition vs. Logic

Your Worst Poker Enemy: Intuition vs. Logic

Maybe this will lure Al back.

I think this is a false dichotomy. Intuition is really just your brain applying logic faster than you can articulate. Most of the time, when you have a "gut...

Re: KK on BTN. I should lay this down.
