Action Reading

Something that doesn't get mentioned that often is "action reading".

Before you act, ask yourself, "if i bet, how does villain's hand range break down into raising/calling/folding ranges?", "if I check, how does villain's hand range break down into betting/checking ranges?".

Don't just think about what holdings your opponents might have, anticipate what they'll do w/ those holdings.

Absolutely. This is 100% my thought process when I'm focused / playing well.

Can you please explain with some examples? This is too advanced for me at this stage, but am happy to learn
