I've said before that I think the most important skill in hold'em is to be able to put your opponents on a hand. Here I got that part right, and then didn't have enough courage (or maybe I just had too much greed) to trust my read.

But about image.

My play on the felting boat hand was purely reflexive. (Which is why I don't like playing multiple tables; that kind of thing should never be reflexive.) But whenever the odds say I probably have the best hand, and I find an unrecognized player pushing into me, I push back and push back hard. (BTW, the same instinct really screws me over in tourneys, but that's for another post....)
