Ever just looked your opponent in the face and know before they act what they were holding? I call it being in the zone. I love those instances, makes you look like a genius. I've spent a lot of time learning the game and its many variables but no matter how long you play there's always more to the game.
I believe poker is not a gamble until your opponent makes it a gamble because lets face it, all those losers out there just trying to make a buck with ATC will bring your calm state to a ruptured boiling point in seconds.
