Ted knowing he had the best hand with his ducks even at the show down is something that I have seen the great ones do. Doyle talks about playing hands like 56 and expecting them to win. I play the same hand and hope I hit something. When Doyle, Ivey and Daniel N play these types of hands or worst and they play them almost knowing they are going to hit and take down a big pot.
How? What makes them special? It's not playing 10's of 1000's of hands because we have all played that many hands. It's a 6th sense they have something that makes playing the right cards and getting in with the best hand equalizes. I play like Phil Hellmouth. I try to play the best hands and get my money in with the best of it. If it wasn't for luck I would never lose. Blah! If it wasn't for a hole somewhere in my game be it a tell, lack of guts or just not enough skill I would not lose as much. But even the best lose. The thing about them is they only remember the hands they won.
Steering back on course. Ted and Tells! I have picked up tells on players and have been the only player at the table to pick them up. So there is a chance Ted was the only player to see the tell and be able to exploit it. I mean even if you have a tell on someone you have to have something to call it down.Statistics: Posted by TexasKowboy — Tue Feb 28, 2006 9:11 pm
