I usually squint but keep watching. I also squint when I'm on a flush draw in a monster pot just so I can discern the color of the card. If it's off color, I swear and fold. If it's the right color, I'll gradually open my eyes to see if it's the right suit. This used to work really well but has faltered lately

Sounds fun, but I have the 4 color deck turned on. "Please blue, please blue, please blue!"

If I want them to fold I put my mouse arrow on their cards and try to drag and drop them to the dealer. If I want them to check I'll make a check motion over their cards with the mouse arrow.

Maybe I'm just weird though.

This really cracked me up. Maybe I'll start trying your methods. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I'm a weeny too. No worries. I promise you just suck it up and bet after you get paid off a few times you'll feel better about it. I really really think my game has improved tremendously once I got over checking and calling when I should be betting or raising. I think it's really just a fear of losing money that kept me back.

Hi Rharless. I play online but don't "weeinie" it as you describe. Somehow, the beats are easier for me to stomach online and I can stare them down.

LGPG....

Sorry we missed each other last weekend.
