ok..... I'll start... So being live, I usually pay careful attention to everyone at my table. Each person has little minute details about them that they may not even know they are doing.. like I've seen some people play with their chips rapidly, and then slow down or hold them in their hand a certain way. I watch some people watching other people and I see how they look when they "find" information on another player. I listen to the table talk, watch what the players are drinking, try to put myself in each person at the tables head and think in their point of view as to how each player is thinking about the table..
When the dealer starts dealing I watch each person when they grab their cards and try to find anyone that looks at their cards then back to the action quickly to watch each player as they fold or place a bet. Once it's my action I see my cards and take one more glance around the table, then make my action. Pre-flop the thoughts running through my mind are usually how can I get this heads up, or if someone raised in front of me what's the correct 3 bet amount, is he calling me light... will he call an aggressive 3 bet, what's his range, am I ahead of his range, how does he perceive my range can I 3 bet light and get a fold. On the flop I'm calculating SPR, and all the
odds, the thoughts are generally the same as pre-flop but mixed with more information, and by the river I have a lot of information.
My thought process pre-flop takes about 5 seconds on average, on the flop basing this on non-complicated situations takes about 10 seconds on average and same with turn and river. I'm wondering am I missing something, should I take more time to consider more things? Or is my method fine? I'm trying to go from a winning player at 300 NL Live too a winning player at 1000 NL live but I want to hear what goes through each persons mind as they think about a hand.. I feel like I'm acting too fast and missing some information somewhere. Other questions.... on the flop should I take more time to calculate accurate odds? or continue with the simple easy to calculate odds that I do quickly in my head? Please tell me your thoughts, I put about 6 hours a day of studying and average 40 hours a week playing.
