The Poker Shrink, Vol 13 - A Complete Psychology of Hand Analysis
One trait that all good poker players share is their ability to analyze hands and learn from their mistakes. Very good players also improve their game by studying hands played by others; either in books, video, television or in conversation with other poker players. The problem with hand analysis is that seldom are you presented with the complete situation at the table when the hand in question was played. For that reason we "fill in the blanks" with our own poker experiences and often fail to recreate the critical table dynamic, which may have made the "bad play" the best...
i believe that different situations call for different measures, however i don't think it's a good idea to blanket the term, "it depends on the situation." in the preceding example an Pomeroy had nothing on the flop, but called anyway. examining this strategy i would guestimate the only "logical" explanation was that he was going to make a move on 3rd or 4th street (he did not). he turned 2nd pair, however the river had a 9 for possible trips, plus the ace and he still called. raising on the turn would have made sense, however passively calling all the way down did not add up. sometimes you have to be able to lay down good hands, here he flopped nothing + still called?
