you need to have the showndown hands and boards pop up in your PA HUD. That way you know what they had without looking in the history. I even mentioned that somewhere I thought.

oh [censored]. i have a lot more to learn about PA HUD it seems. had no idea you could that.

edit: oh wait, are you talking about when the cards show up over the table right after the hand finishes? mine does that. but in the heat of battle . . . i don't look at all the showdowns on the tables.

[djoyce003]

yeah it's the showndown board, showndown hands option I believe. puts up the board and the cards everyone had at showdown that saw it with pictures at first, then text for the rest of the next hand.

Is fewer tables an alternative?

Very interesting post, thanks.

No 11. Is something I've noticed and been confused by often. As you say betting $10 IS a biggish bet at $50, but not if it's into a much larger pot, and I've often taken it for weakness when in reality it's not.

Great post, I'm gonna add one more.

The Insta check

This is by far and away the most reilable 'timing tell' I've ever found. If you raise in position and the villian instantly checks on the flop it means he was fishing for a monster (set mining for example) and when his misses has already decided his action. Well over 90% of the time it means he's giving you the hand and will insta-fold when you CB. The rest of the time it means he hit his monster and decided before the flop to CR if he hit, however a villian how as made a hand will usually think for a couple of second how best to extract/continue. Whenever a villian instantly checks it is EV+ to CB steal.
