To say that you know how 10NL and 20NL players play is to say that you're a narrow-minded poker player with a lot of downswings coming his way and an inability to move up to a level where most of the players are thinking in unique ways.
"Knowing what you have" ofcourse refers to "knowing how you value your hand". There are plenty of players at 10NL and 20NL who always value-bet on how they value their hand. It's not always accurate, but enough so for it to be profitable to take into consideration. These patterns are recurring.. and 6max is very read-dependant so I've developped a sensitivity to them.

I'm ofcourse often wrong too. Some players indeed play very random. That's annoying, but not a real problem. If I get my suspicions confirmed however, that makes playing against this player from then on very straight-forward. Occasionally he might trick me, ok, but a general "read" on his hand strength is very helpful.

I thought I'd mention this here, since I myself at one point didn't realize how much my betting patterns were tipping other people off until someone pointed it out to me (friendly guy in chat).
