No HUD would have told me that I am going to be good in this hand. But because I was observing this table and knew exactly what was going on, I didn't even tank for a second before shoving.

This is one of the most profitable situations that can occur in poker and I believe one really misses out by mass multi-tabling.

When someone is 3-betting that large with a lot of garbage hands it really pays off to pay attention. I haven't run into one of these type of players in awhile unfortunately.

It is always a good idea to buddy these guys as well.

the observation in poker could be defined as a strateggy, as macdonald not take eyes of their opponents to see that gesture or sign of something gives a signal.
