Message: [QUOTE="EarnDAStack, post: 7206811, member: 373435"] I honestly don't think it matters. Good players still refer back to a base strategy and then will maybe make an adjustment based on a player's history or as you said pick up on a twinge in their neck in a high stress spot or other visual cue. However they aren't wildly adjusting their strategy because they saw the dude in the hoodie, sunglasses and a ball cap swallowed an odd amount of times after putting his chips all in, that's now how the game is played as cool as it looks for a Hollywood movie. Also don't forget, when you get up into the top echelon of live players, they are also asking themselves these questions, they have rehearsed movements that are designed and coached into showing as little information as possible, will sometimes intentionally be giving off misleading information or at the very least keeping track of their patterns. Doug Polk talks about a game where he had been talking the last 2 hands he had value so he consciously kept a conversation going during the 3rd hand that was a similar spot where he was bluffing... Because if people looked at the video and saw he talks with value and is quiet while bluffing they can implement that into how they play against him. Unless you're a top 0.1% player where you're trying to claw back the last 0.05bbs of EV in a hand there are much easier low hanging fruits to focus on. I don't care if my opponent is showing every visible sign in the world that he is bluffing if it's a spot no one ever bluffs in, him sweating like a sailor during Sunday service could just be an act, but if he's good enough to triple barrel with a bdfd bdsd with an over card that picks up equity on the turn and bricks on the river while sweating like a sailor in Sunday service while getting you to fold your marginal bluff catcher on the river that's just good poker baby!
