i think i'm half way through this section. i've read the "bluffing with fairly good hands" part.
i haven't read point 2 or 3 yet. i will read it in the next few days.
very nice quote.
the "bluffing with a fairly good hand" section hasn't helped me at all. you have to be playing against quite good opponents for them to fold a hand that is better than your average hand. and you have to know those opponents quite well.
i can't make use of it online because i don't have good enough reads on any single player.
and in the live games i'm playing - no one i play against can lay down a fairly big hand. so atm this section has no use to me. but maybe as i move up the stakes it will be useful.
point 2:
if you think you have quite a high chance of making your opponent fold and you have quite a big draw then i think it's a good idea to push.
if you would call if your opponent pushed and there is some chance he will fold if you push - then i think it's nearly always a good idea to push. if he is quite a weak/loose player though and you think you can see the rest of the hand for free but still get paid off when you hit - then i think it's a good idea to just check.
[when you saying "pushing" the flop, i'm assuming you mean pushing your stack in]
i don't have much to say on point 3). in live play - after about 20 minutes of play you can usually get a good feel on how they are playing and what level of thinking they are at. i don't play much with high level of thinking players though
