What hand reading? Sounds pretty standard unless I'm missing something.
It's rare we can put a villain on an exact hand but we're always coming up with a range of hands villain can have.
I remember a hand yesterday where I pretty much knew what are nitty villain had. He has 66 and only 66 here.

BB: $274.27
Hero (UTG): $100.00
UTG+1: $75.63
MP1: $105.47
MP2: $137.90
CO: $40.96
BTN: $137.43
SB: $143.63
Pre Flop: ($1.50) Hero is UTG with K :diamond: T :diamond:
Hero raises to $3.50, UTG+1 calls $3.50, MP1 calls $3.50, 5 folds
Flop: ($12.00) 6 :diamond: A :spade: K :club: (3 players)
Hero checks, UTG+1 bets $6, MP1 calls $6, Hero folds
Turn: ($24.00) 5 :heart: (2 players)
UTG+1 bets $12, MP1 raises to $25
He's a 10/8 so he isn;t bluffing or playing A6s/A5s.
AK/KK+ 3bets.
AQ and worse is too weak to raise

I really shouldn 't be wading in to something I haven't read again but I'm really bored. 
From what I've glimpsed gus is just referring to hand reading although I disagree with him when he says the skill of this rules out luck as we can run in to the top of villains range alot more than we should, this counts for much more than EV for most people who don't have really sick EV lines.
If I was MP1 with his 66 in the hand above and UTG triple barrelled his range would be mostly hands I beat yet if he happened to have AA that would just be bad luck.

Deco,
unless I am understanding gus wrong - and I made a point to establish what it was he was talking about - he is on about knowing a players had preflop. He spoke of putting a player on a specific hand - in the example it was AJ, altho even with his skillz he didnt seem to know suits... lol - and I made a statement about ranges and not exact hands pre, and thats how my disillusionment and disagreement with gus came about. He claims he can put a guy on AN EXACT HAND PRE.
I beg to differ.

I have nothing to gain and you wont admit it if i did it so whats the purpose here . you and your gang have started to call me names and tried to make fun of me for what ? really all this for what ?
Good entertainment or to settle your ego and keep the fact that some players can and do do this at the tables .

Lets ask the good professor this, I under estimate my play. I think I'm sucking a lot and need to improve my game everyday. Everyday I can be better, and yet, I see my money steadily growing. Not everyday, but over the course of years of playing. It has gone up. So, I must be super lucky. Thank God, I've been thinking all my wins were purely stupid! Now I know! Thanks research!

Well I like to play like Daniel negruano also. Putting people on hands. Then I figure out a range that fit the play. I'm not always right but when I am it's a nice Ego boost, just saying

Do you feel that you have a unique ability? If so, why are you surprised that so many don't relate to your ideology.
In the future, when you post your opinion, and you get a couple ppl who completely disagree. It's fine to argue your side. When 5-6 ppl show up in opposition to your idea, then it is time to either let them go on discussing without you or have an educated debate. But claiming your being victimized and threatening to leave is just borrish.
The thing with us members, we don't like to let someone get the final say if we feel its misinformation. It's great that you found something that works for you. This strategy of "feeling" and preflop reads is not something that can be taught. It's not something any player can just expect to acheive. Therefore, us who are interested in helping, or just not misinforming, others are going to contradict your opinion.
So last thing. If you have a unique idea, expect contradiction. And don't take it as being malicious bc we're just doing it in the best interest of everyone else who reads the thread.

Hand Reading > Maths
It isn't very often I'm calculating pots odds. Combonatorics I use more often but that's pretty much just multiplicatiuon.
Hand reading I use every single hand. But ye honestly im blind drunk right now and im being a dick for joining an argument when i can't be bothered reading the whole thread. I just thought people where finding the concept of hand reading absurd. If it involves predicting the hand based on preflop action alone then that is mystic meg shit. I think I'm just in stick up for the new guy mode as I made a second 2+2 account and with my 12post count I'm getting ripped left right and centre. Standard probably.
At the very least I think gus's response to the first critisizm of his posts was over the top, even if said critisizm was pretty petty.
