If you can figure out what hands your opponents are likely to have, you will make consistently good decisions. You'll find bluffs other players miss. You'll find value bets other players miss. And you'll also be able to anticipate and avoid trouble before you're knee-deep in it. Some people say hand reading is a "feel" skill. That you can only learn it through experience. They're wrong. Not that experience isn't vital. It is. But if you think that you're just going to figure it all out by playing hours and hours of hold'em, you're likely mistaken. The learning curve is very steep.

Not only will you be reading hands better from the moment you finish your first read-through, but you will also learn how to develop your skill during every session you play in the future.
