Nearly every great poker player will tell you that on the way up they had a group of poker buddies who would discuss hands endlessly. It is essential to the improvement of your game that you have different perspectives on how to play a hand. Not only will a variety of views give you ideas on how to change your game but hearing other ways to play a hand will help you improve your reads on other players. It is often difficult to get inside the head of an overly aggressive player when that is not your style. Just as the maniac always misreads the tight player when they finally hit their monster hand.
