why do some poker players always seem to know what you have
got smoked in a cash game by a guy who barely blinked preflop, just stared at hands and chips the whole session. turns out, it was all about how people sized their bets and hesitated on certain flops. i thought it was some psychic thing but when i rewatched the stream, it was all patterns and memory. in sportsbook terms, it’s like those guys who never watch the ball and only track line movement - feels magical, but it’s just data and reps.
