I was wondering of what people do to improve their hand reading.
Especially when playing live, I have trouble thinking about ranges and calculations.
I always think about hands that beat me, and cannot do a breakdown properly.
So what would be the best way to approach my problem?
All I can think of is reading through other hands on forums and analyzing my own hands after play.
All suggestions are welcome.
Hello,
I think that's really the only way to improve on that regard. I think you could just analyze Hands that saw showdown, specify the range of villain in every street. At showdown see if you were right, if not try to figure out if it was just a bad play from villain or is there really a reason for that hand is in there.
I think this is the way but i can be wrong 
Any more sugestions are welcome
Beside what l3ryl3e said, whenever I bet or raise, I am trying to always answer these questions: which worse hand(s) I want them to call me and which better hands I am attacking, trying to make them fold.
One way is to play a little fixed limit. You will get involved in very many situations and "mistakes" aren't so expensive.
For a proper read you need to have history with the player. More history you have better your read it is
