The Difference between a Good SH player and a Great One
A great SH player keeps his play up when he is getting farked out of his mind. A great player has confidence that he is making the right plays regardless of the result, taking that intrinsic pleasure. A great player realizes that there is no "correct way" to play a certain hand, but that the optimum stragegy for the hand is largely based upon the context of the moment - the last 20 hands or so.

[/ QUOTE ] I don't think this is true in limit. What you call the "context of the moment" is important (and increasingly so the higher you play), but still just a secondary factor. It just swings your decision one way or another when lines are somewhat similarly attractive.

Table conditions and other players' perceptions of you are definitely important to consider, but I think you still need a hand.

The subject is not the difference between a bad player and a good player... [/ QUOTE ] I agree that great players pay attention to lots of nuances that merely good players miss. Here's what I'm disagreeing with: [ QUOTE ] but that the optimum stragegy for the hand is largely based upon the context of the moment - the last 20 hands or so. [/ QUOTE ]

[/ QUOTE ] awesome point. i think this aspect of sh play is vastly underrated and the reason i cringe when i see hand posts that don't mention this at all.

A great player realizes he doesnt have to use great plays, he just has to showdown a better hand. I dont think at the low limits image has really much consideration at all in the minds of all the fish you are playing against.
