Re: Cannot pace my betting-any help?
I don't count. I'm always paranoid that the look on my face is transparent, as if someone can see the blankness in my eyes and differenciate between when I am counting or actually struggling with a decision. But even if that is false, counting just feels like a waste of time. Actually, it is a waste of time if there ever was one.
What you should be doing is any combination of calculating pot odds, putting your opponents on hand ranges, running through what's happened in the hand thus far, sizing your bet, taking into account what might happen on the next street or how you'll respond if someone raises behind you, etc, etc...regardless of if you have the nuts or not. Even if the decision before you is a no brainer there's still information you can analyze that will help you on later hands.
