Live play - waiting to look at the cards?

[seke2]

I prefer to wait to look at my cards until the action is on me for 3 reasons.

1) Based on the play before me, I decide (very roughly/quickly) what range of hands I'm probably going to raise, call, and fold with. By not looking at my hand first, I don't bias my ranges one way or the other, I just focus on what action happened before my turn.

2) I don't want to give away tells, and if I haven't seen my cards, I can't give away much information.

3) I can spend the time while others are acting focusing on what they are doing and looking at the players who are going to act after me to see if they're giving away any information.
