Re: what\'s so wrong about playing on auto-pilot?
[ QUOTE ]
i just read a post about theory vs. practice and there seems to be a notion that playing on autopilot is a negative. What is exactly wrong with this? If you know all the angles and have played each situation so many times, you can play on autopilot. In a way, you don't have to overthink each play, making the right instinctual play because it just feels "right". Or is this not what playing on auto pilot is?

There's nothing wrong with it, it can be very profitable, and the limits of a typical player's attention span require playing on autopilot sometimes.
It's just that if you pay attention to exactly who you're playing, you're more likely to spot unusual situations and eek out a little more money.
good luck.
