but, you are "wiser," thunder. you can throw tons of holdings almost completely out of your consideration.

so long as you can accurately (the operative word here) narrow down your villains' ranges, you can then, calculate math easier on the crucial concepts, like implied odds. you then, can add in your specific player reads and make the better decision not only on whether or not to bet/raise/call/check, but also HOW MUCH he can feasibly call.

complicated? yes, but ABSOLUTELY necessary for even a 25NL player to earn top dollar.

and, the specific hands are probably one of the better parts of the thread. running through specific hands will help hone your skills/thought processes. and, that will give you confidence to apply the same rationale to all situations. you are really practicing "process of elimination."
