I am having trouble "seeing" what is going on at a table beyond myself and the hand I am involved in. In terms of observations I need to be able too widen my sights to remember what more players play and how they play it. Initially I am able to get a table wide view so to speak, but as the game progresses I tend to narrow my field of vision and lose sight of the big picture. Anyone have any tips or is it just a matter of me constantly reminding myself to not lose sight of what is going on around me?

Remember backwards.

When you see someone show a hand, think back to what that person did on the river, on the turn, on the flop and pre-flop and what they had.

DId they call a big raise with an inside straight draw?
Did they bet a QTo from UTG?

I usually am observant. But I kinda snap to attention when a hand is shown.
I don't know what they have to say
It makes no difference anyway.
Whatever it is...
I'm against it.

Thanks humphrind... I guess, as with most things, the more I do the better I can expect to get at it.
