How can we train our feel?

[recallme]

It`s easyto learn the rational part of poker and our conscious desicions.
But what about feel and unconscious knowledge?

That starts to come after about 30,000 hands or so, and really starts takeing shape around 200,000 hands.

Feel comes through understanding. Understanding comes through knowledge, skill and experience.

Build knowledge, nuture skill, gain experince, develop feel.

Knowledge comes in many flavors:

- You don't know.
- You know it's there, but not what it is.
- You know what it is, but have to think about it.
- You know it, but have to remember it's there.
- You know it so well, it is just automatic and no concious thought is required.

Consider math, when someone says what is 2+2, do you have to add those numbers, or do you just know it's 4? How did you get there? Same for poker.
