Message: [QUOTE="Coryan, post: 402681, member: 11009"] [b]About 78% of people believe they are above average drivers.[/b] I have to agree with ChuckT and others on this one. No reason for the big bet on the flop. With that flop I am probably betting half pot to see what develops. If I am just called, I do the same on the turn. Several likely hands have you beat here. I believe that your play after the flop was risky at best. I also believe that AA causes our to mind create scenarios that make our hand good when we really should let it go...in this case, that scenario was correct...CONGRATS. This next comment is not meant just to you and I hope it doesn't sound overly critical... I see a lot of players posting hands with questionable plays that they justify by saying they had a good read on their opponent(s). Unless this is B/M play, you have very little information on which to "get a read". It is even harder to have confidence that your read is correct on two players at the same time. Think about how few hands we actually see at showdown in order to get a complete read on how it was played. Then figure how much information has to be considered to fully understand why they played it in that fashion: what is the board, what is their read on their opponent, are they on tilt, did the phone just ring and they made a bad call? Personally, I believe that we (yes, me too) poker players far overestimate our ability to read people online. We believe that we know how our opponents would play their hand when, in truth, we just have an educated guess based on minimal information. Or maybe I am just bitter because I have lost so much on bad reads! :( [/QUOTE]
