I never watch T.V. or listen to music, I find them too distracting, and I like to concentrate on the game as even on-line you can pick up a few tells from how people will bet on certain
hands.
I once held pocket Kings in a game and my daughters boyfriend was watching me play, right away he said "All-in, All-in"
I just laughed and said " I want them to go all-in so I can call" The flop came K K J and I checked the quads. sure enough the two other players started to bet, I waited until the timer went down and He said "Raise!"
"No way" I replied "I am just going to call and check the turn" The turn gave another Jack and I checked again By now the boyfriend was tearing his hair out "Get it all-in" he screamed and I just said "watch and learn sonny"
The other 2 players bet again and I pushed in a small raise, just to keep them interested the 1st player was pot committed and pushed all-in the 2nd player flat called and I re-raised to bring 2nd player all-in because calling the 1st played made him pot committed.
I just sat there laughing to myself and said to the boyfriend," they are both holding Jack 10" and when the cards were turned over for the river sure enough both had Jack 10.
How did I know? I had been playing these 2 players for over 30 mins and knew the type of hands they were playing and could read them on every hand.
