This saying has been around for a very long time in poker games and there is still truth to it. Poker is about math edges and knowing when to call based on pot odds and such, but every now and then you know you are going to win the poker hand before you do. You know the card you need to make your hand is coming off the deck next. All decent poker players have had this experience. It is even sweeter when you make a play before the draw. Many things happen when you do this and pull it off. The other players at the poker table will be yelling how can you play the hand the way you did. Some will be disparaging your birthright and if you were legitimate at birth. Others will swear to catch you next time and will try. The upshot of doing this is that the table will become unbalanced for a few minutes.
Playing hunches is part of gambling and there are players that are truly psychic about the flow of the cards. If you are one of these casino players you have a gift that should not be disregarded. The more you use this power the more accurate it will become. No one can prove this to the satisfaction of non-believers, but most gamblers will agree that some players have it and others do not. Knowing when to play a hunch can be as simple as the outs are there and it is a good gamble. Other times it is a very strong feeling that a certain card will be dealt next. When it happens it is surprising and not surprising. Gamblers that have this ability know what I am talking about and those that are not blessed this way think it is so much processed hay.
When you do this play, you must be prepared to lose, as the hunch may not come to pass. On the other hand when you bet on the come, and win the feeling is like no other in gambling. It can set the tone for the entire session of poker and the rush may have just started. Most players’ of hunches would rather make the bet and lose than not make it and watch it come in.
