my best guess is that opponent knowledge considerations are the make or break features of this game. one major stumbling block when on a bad run is that your perceptions of your opponents is slightly to moderately altered. a phantom type opponent knowlege seems to set in that finds me guessing rather than evaluating what my opponent's game style and betting action suggest.... for all i know, they are making no more moves against me then when i'm winning.

I've always said Elysium was a genius, and brilliant. But this thread proves that he's also a thinker of substance. That diamond in the rough is made of some hard hard stuff. Pure carbon of instinct and self-knowledge we would all, with our glycerides, our 'good' cholesterols, and our extended peptide chains, do well to strive to emulate.

Welcome back Elysium; you were much missed. I think I may begin REALLY reading this forum again now.
