The reason some players seem to "predict" their hand or cards is because they are aware of the pot odds and the likelihood of making the hand. There is a lot that goes on inside the head of a good poker player and while instinct plays a role, skill is the main talent.<br><br>SmittyThu, 19 Jun 2008 02:10:04 GMTsmittyhttp://www.gambling.com/forum/Topic2664-19-1.aspxYou can study this and you will get better but then you are boardering on cheating and that is never good.Wed, 18 Jun 2008 18:07:35 GMTLouise31http://www.gambling.com/forum/Topic2664-19-1.aspxIt's not easy but some real gamblers can really predict. They have their own ways and strategies. Some through keen observation, others are computing. It is really a skill to be mastered.Wed, 18 Jun 2008 07:19:22 GMTLorencehttp://www.gambling.com/forum/Topic2664-19-1.aspxSome of the people really strategy in order to know what will be the winning pairs. They maybe computing it or something but I huess this is very hard to do. As for me it is purely luck.Thu, 21 Feb 2008 12:40:32 GMTsugal_onlinehttp://www.gambling.com/forum/Topic2664-19-1.aspxSometimes we get lucky and we can guess to fold or hit for blackjack, sometimes we can get lucky and guess about poker as well. Are there any real stats out there as to what can be predicted and what not? I am 1/2 and 1/2 on this one, sometimes a gut feeling works and sometimes its just luck right?Thu, 21 Feb 2008 03:52:25 GMTsmoski
