revolutionary for me,,,i make a read and actually act on it

[climber]

In like my 9 billionth attempt to get my went to showdown under 40% I'ven been trying a new thing where I actaully act on the reads I make. Earlier in my session, I was mid-hand and told myself, "Ok, lead the trun if you are raised, your done with the hand." I bet was raised, thought for a second, made some lame excuse to myself and called down as usual. I lost, as I knew I would.

This hand came up a few minutes later.

UTG is 35/0/0 over 50 hands.
SB is 21/8/2 over hundreds of hands.
