Rondavu,
I agree it is based on reads. There are two types (or more) of reads however. Your read on your opponent - ie. how loose they play and how aggressive they are, etc. There is also how you read your opponent's reaction to your actions. In the process of writing this out, I really tried to think about how best to get information for the average player through my actions. As I wrote it out, I changed my mind on a couple things when I looked at each scenario. There is no way I"m looking at any charts or scenarios when I play. Writing it down is just an exercise to evaluate a thought process based on some variables.

I already know what to do when I get QQ. But like comedy, what you think is good in your head may not be the best in reality. The timing of jokes can only be realized in practice with the other people. You can't just show up the night of the skit and kill the audience. You have to practice with the other people. Based on their actions, you may change the timing of a joke or how you say it. Sort of an analogy I guess.

You cannot post any hand on this site without somebody saying you need reads. Of course you need to have reads to be successful, but you still need a general strategy that you can work off and adjust on the fly.

Also, playing multiple tables reduces the accuracy of your reads. That's why everyone relies on PT. PT doesn't tell the whole story either though. Therefore, I'll stick to the general strategy when I have limited or no information.

I'm not trying to be defensive or playing back at you - because I respect your input. I just want to point out why I wrote this down.
