Thanks Staresy. Am going to reread that page on this site and go through my last tourney history to see how I did. I've kinda been operating by "feel" to this point and I know that ain't good.

Actually I do quite well with this. The money in the pot is something to be acquired, I don't feel attached to a portion of it. While I'm aware of what I just bet, its more from a standpoint of knowing how I'm presenting myself rather than any close emotional ties to my chips

When I was forming my question, that scenario popped into my head - that maybe pot odds had something to do with their prior bets vs mine. I see now thats not the case. Thanks again.
