Reads are awesome, reads are great. Having reads on an opponent means making non standart plays that are hugely more profitable than just playing your own two cards against some half-assed assumption of what the other guy´s range is. But, and this is a pet-peeve of mine, people hide behind the notion of \”reads\” too much when they discuss hands. For example, a response to the question \”Should I make a continuation bet with AK on this dry flop out of position?\” might will yield a response that says \”it depends on the opponent\” and then explains what to do if the opponent is, for instance, extremely tight (or some other read that makes the decision easy). This isn´t a bad response, in itself, it´s just that it´s not as helpful as it could be.
