Developing a "poker BS detector" - Zero to a thousand podcast episode 4

Learn about how to develop a "poker BS detector" Do you want to learn to absolutely intuitively know your opponent is full of it? Then this podcast is a must... 2 podcasts in the same week due to me missing last weeks episode. When do you trust your read, and when don't you, when do you trust your "BS detector". This one goes into a great detail about a concept of when to rely on your "read" when it defies pot odds. When to bet on what your opponent DOESNT have when you have a marginal hand. Often times it's said that great players rely on their read, not mathmatics... However, there can be a lot more math involved, but that math is in your human brain, your subconscious calculating what's known from experience. But there's an example by actually knowing a little bit about the math, about the accuracy of the "BS detector", where even if your BS detector is only right 30% of the time where it can still allow you to make a profitable call that it wouldn't normally. I liked the way this podcast went so I might go into more detail about this next week.
