Re: Tough laydowns and the voice in your head
we have all heard of a player being "in the zone". in basketball it is when a player can hit 3-pointer after 3-pointer. in football, it is the quarterback hitting his receiver in perfect stride. in our game, poker, it is knowing full well that your gut instinct is correct and accurate in assessment of the situation. so the question is, why hold on to the hand when you know better...
being "in the zone", you are concerned with your own actions and have a surety of feeling that they, your actions, are the correct ones. to recognize when you are "there", in the zone, is the critical moment. to be a "deer caught in the headlights", you are looking outside of yourself and are reacting to those external actions. one forgets the inner voice that says, "what are you doing in this hand?" to forget or ignore the "inner voice" is tantamount to begin playing with the ego. and the ego has a hard time laying down a hand.
