It's a continuation of the subject line - it's all one sentence.
I'd be interested in hearing people's thoughts on this myself. I know one should consider what the other guy has, what the other guy thinks we have, and so on, but I don't have a codified list of questions and I think it may help me if I do.... can't sleep, blinds will eat me ...

Answer: Five or so would be a good start; and What does time played have to do with it? You should be analysing the table from the first hand thru to the last.

I'd start with something like this:
1. What do I have?
2. What do I think my opponent has?
3. Do I have the best hand right now?
- If yes, then raise.
- If no, go to 4.
4. How many outs do I have to the best hand, and what are my odds of drawing that hand on the very next card?
5. What odds is the pot giving me (expressed odds)?
6. Are my expressed pot odds greater than my odds of winning?
- If yes then call.
- If no, then go to 7.
7. Do my opponent and I both have a significant amount of chips left?
If no, then fold.
If yes, go to 8.
8. If I make my hand on the next card, can I make up the difference between the expressed pot odds and my odds of winning by getting a bet called (implied odds)?
If no, then fold.
If yes, then call.

I decide what to do based on the following,
What's happened previously at the table?
How many people are in the hand, what have they done so far and what does it mean?
What's the strength of my hand?
How likely is it to improve?
What's my table image?
What's the strength of his hand
How likely is it to improve?
What's his VPIP and post flop image?
What am trying to achieve with my next move?

Ah yes, what does it all mean anyway? The age old question. I'm often lost in thought pondering life at the poker table. Originally Posted by Irexes

i think a set question is a good way to start, but it's kind of a crutch IMO... you need to be able to analyze your situation quickly and know what to look for.. though this might be a good thing to fall back on in a pressure situation...
pp.ppp.pppp...ppp....PRESSURE

Almost all my decisions begin with the same question - Am I beat? From 'Yes' 'No' or 'Maybe', there dozens of questions that flash through my mind like the ones already listed.
Another question I sometimes ask - Can I bluff this hand?
