The Magic Formula, if we could avoid bad or should I say wrong plays, we would win all the time and poker is a zero sum game so that means I would win all the time be the world champ richer than Bill Gates , and no one after a while would play me, poker would be dead, and we have to invent another form of Combat.

Having said that:- Lets talk about computer tells instead,

The Latest I have found in the last 2 days computering is:-

BB waits for time just before the system is going to fold He/She smooth calls
betting round comes a long and we get a very QUICK check or call ( I do mean FAST)

Turn drops and we are waiting ag for max time and guess what its a small raise or a smoth call...
River a fast ALLIN

BINGO trust me its a MONSTER HAND.

Unless you have a big hand, its hard to continue with a hand when the board is paired or there are straight and flush cards out. A lot of people fall in love with top pair with top kicker, and they usually go broke because after all, it is just one pair and thats not a strong hand usually. If you do notice the board paired or straight and flush cards out, and the person in the hand with you seems to be checking a lot and has a tight reputation, you might want to throw out a small bet and see where you stand because you may be able to take it down with a small bet, and if they come over the top or call you can still get away from the hand without losing to many chips. On the other side of that too, if you notice your in the same type of hand with an over aggressive player you might catch him in a trap by checking to him and coming over the top of his bet, but you have to be willing to take that gamble and lose some chips. every situation is different if there was clear cut way to play every hand, we would never lose and we would all be pros.
