[Talking Poker]

Well, I read it... Interesting observations, and I agree with him.

As an intelligent logical player, I think it's actualy more difficult for me to "learn" the non-logical side of poker than it is for the "feel" guys to learn the logical side - I mean, come on, math is math. That said, I feel that I have a BIT of a gift with the "feel" side of poker as well... It's NOTHING compared to the likes of SDouble (who I played with in Aruba) and our very own JD, but I think I have more than the average Joe. Anyway, I've thought about this before and I think this may help explain why I play so much better live than I do online (in tourneys anway). My subconscious has many more inputs to work with, and even though I might not be able to pinpoint an exact tell on one of my opponents, my "gut" is able to put all those inputs together and paint a better picture for my brain...

Anyway, like I said... that was an interesting read. Well written.
