hands

i've been dealing myself games to practice reading my hands faster when the flop is dropped (seeing that straight draw when you've got A,2 unsuited in your hand and a rainbow 3, K, 5 on the board doesn't always come quickly) and i've realized that there are a good number of hands worth limping in on if you are in a good position to do so. it has also made me more confident about playing mediocre hands when the time is right because other players are not necessarily holding a hand much better than mine. i usually assume someone is holding an A and that is not always true...or not always going to pay off for them in the end.
