It’s been established that there are six people involved in any two way conversation.

Sounds crazy doesn’t’ it ? But…upon examination I think you will agree.

So who are these people?

 Well…let’s take you and I for instance.

1. There is you.
2. There is me.
3. There is who you think I am.
4. There is who I think you are.
5. There is who you think I think you are.
6. There is who I think you think I am.

If you think back through conversations you have had I’m sure you will be able to recognize the concept.

So you ask. . . what doe’s this have to do with poker?

Let’s apply this concept to your hand verses my hand in Heads-up play.

1. There is your hand.
2. There is my hand.
3. There is the hand you think I have.
4. There is the hand I think you have.
5. There is the hand you think I think you have.
6. There is the hand I think you think I have.

Now . . .  apply this revelation to a multi-way pot. 

It’s no wonder they call it gambling.

And it’s just a little bit more incentive to work on our hand reading and ranging skills.
