Watching poker on TV, it’s constantly amazing to see the quality of decisions made by some of the top pros – from their ability to make a good call with only middle pair, to their uncanny knack of laying down big hands pre-flop. It’s something we aspiring poker players can only dream of doing.

Psychologically speaking, however, it’s much more interesting to try to discover exactly what it is that allows the likes of Devilfish and Phil Hellmuth to make such plays: is it their years of experience, knowledge of the game and number of hands they’ve played, or might it be something a little more metaphysical, such as an inner voice they listen to – often referred to as intuition.
