Default Re: 10/20 Give up or fire away?

When I say reads, I am not talking about poker tracker stats. I am talking about personalised reads. How do they play top pair/second pair/bottom pair? Do they cap their draws? Do they fold on the turn for one bet unimproved? Do they like to bluff bet at paired flops? and so on...

Poker tracker stats are very useful in building a general read on your opponent, but they still don't provide enough information, in my opinion, when you find yourself heads up against your opponent in a marginal spot.

I get what you are saying. My point was that me having 180 hands on him doesnt mean I actually played those 180 hands with him (because of the datamining), therefore this is all I got on him as a read. I think you wanted to say that I must have gotten some kind of personalized read on him when I have 180 hands on him but that is not true.

I agree that a real read makes this much easier to play.
