An intriguing topic...

[JackSevenSuited]

at least to me... Anybody who's read NLHE:TAP has at least a brief understanding of multiple level thinking. I have one question based on the section. I came to the conclusion that:

zeroth level thinking is knowing what you have

first level thinking is thinking about what your opponents have

second level thinking is what your opponent likely thinks you have

third level thinking is thinking about what your opponent thinks you think he has

and the one i dont understand, directly quoted from the book which i cant wrap my head around

The fourth level would be to think about what your opponent might think that you think he might think you have.

I read it over and over and cant get it, lol. EXAMPLE PLEASE!

Lastly, i believe this multiple level thinking is a dangerous weapon, but like the section says you can only think one level ahead of your opponent, meaning if your opponent only thinks on the first level, your third level is useless. My question is how do you know which levels your opponent are capable of playing on. Is there a technique or do you have to play with your opponents for a long long time.

PS- I would love to hear what other people have to say about multiple level thinking.
