And yes perhaps I do need to more open to admitting I'm wrong.
The goal of my PAHWM threads isn't to impress random poker players on the internet that I'll probably never meet IRL or show off like omg dude I totally bluffed him off his top pair I'm such a genius. It's to create an open discussion about how to play certain hands in ways that are potentially more +EV than the traditional way. Venice you said I need to work on my observational skills. You are right I probably do. That's one of the reasons I make these threads actually. I want people to comment on my assumptions about villains and their frequencies, not just to tell me to bluff less. Because my assumptions about their frequencies could often be wrong which obviously leads to -EV (or at least less +EV) plays.
The bolded is fine to discuss. But probably better off in Poker Theory than this forum. Just my opinion.
