[Andy B]

I can't remember cards very well. I do better than I used to, and sometimes I'm able to remember every folded card on third street....for a while. I do remember the ones that impact my hand, and I usually have a pretty good idea about the cards that impact my opponent's hand, but if six people see fourth street and three fold, I'm just not going to remember all of them. I do form impressions about what all is gone--"a lot" of spades, etc.--and I do think I remember most of what is important. And I get by. I know some people who can remember every card every hand who I don't think are particularly strong stud players. Remembering the cards is important, but it's just one part of the equation.
