lol the first poker aha moment I remember is when I first started playing SNGs on party, and I had the brilliant discovery that every time I mashed the pot button on the flop everyone folded. it was at this moment that i discovered that poker was indeed an ez game.
in all seriousness, most of my cash game aha moments have come from getting put in really gross spots. basically when a player would make a play against me that just had me saying "wow FML" and realizing "hey maybe I should be doing this to other people too!" some pretty basic spots without giving too much away would be like "wow this guy is 3 betting the F out of me in position and I have no idea how to combat this without making some super high variance plays" or "wow i has black aces UTG and i cbet this 679hh board and get raised by a tough reg in position, what do i do now? oh, maybe i should be raising my TJ here in position?"
imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... i don't really think i have developed many of the FPS plays in my arsenal but just adopted them when someone else used the move against me and owned my soul at one time or another
