I need help with my thought process.
The players I play with, basically, and being nice, know nothing about the game.
Like pot odds, outs, etc...
But last weekend I played in a tourny and the pot was pretty big to us, $150. And I played with a bunch of people that knew the game, did the math, took their time, all that.
And when the action came around to me, I didn't know what to think. I never had to really think playing with the usual people.
What questions shoud I ask myself when the actoin gets around to, to help me make the decison? I'm trying to make a list, and then memorize it.
I can only think of two when it's my turn.
What's their playing style?
Did they limp/raise?
Preflop, and on the flop, what are the most basic ones, or the ones that you ask yourself the most?

Harrington on Hold'em Vol. 1 has a really good section on what you should be considering when you play a hand. The new Sklansky, NLHE Theory and Practice covers this too.
Probably too broad a topic to get much love in the forum.

Agreed.
If you are looking for some basic solid guidelines I like Phil Gordon's thought process he outlines in the Little Green Book ( which a lot of people seem to think is mediocre but I love) is I think a 5-stepper that pretty much covers everything you should be worried about. It's right at the beginnig of the book too.
