Which action is the most +EV vs an average player? I pick that option... over and over and over again. I do it maybe 12 times in the same time it takes you to realise that the guy is the same type of loose passive as 70% of the other guys on the table and that you should call.
Your reads have probably become fast and automatic as you see recurring patterns, so automatic that you might not even notice you are doing it anymore. That is why I said that reads aren't overrated. For someone to whom this doesn't come automatically it is very much crucial.
What I said about "imagine that every hand is like the first hand at a table" is not to be taken literally, but more like a thought experiment to understand how it would be for someone who is completely oblivious to people reads.
I now understand why your post count is so high.
