having good reads means nothing if you can’t convince people of them

most people are not going to be convinced by something that cannot be explained

You missed the point of the post. The point wasn’t to sheep them. The point was to understand why they had that read in the first place - sometning which should be done by both the player and the person trying to understand them

#8343

Yeah Seth is a good example tbh

#8344

if you could do that then they wouldn’t be giving a gut read

again I don’t understand why you’re trying to give logic to an emotional response

My argument is that said emotional responses aren’t good enough, but you’re saying that you can apply logic to those responses which I don’t really believe?

This was talking about someone else, not the player who had the gut read

i mean if I’m the one doing the interpretation then it’s not really their read at that point is it

It’s just my read, and they have the choice to go along with it

#8348

And your point is?
I never said it was their read at that point

#8349

see that’s kind of the problem when the read is based on gut and/or cannot be explained

my whole point is that you shouldn’t be trusting someone’s read if they can’t give evidence

if your point is “read the posts they had a gut reaction on and form your own opinion” then that’s just you making your own read with your own evidence atp

my whole point is that instead of not trusting it or just ignoring it, use their read in order to understand why they had that read.

#8352

this appears to be going in circles

#8353

maybe I’m missing something but from my experience gut reads come from certain posts or someone’s attitude towards the game which can be pointed at

and others can try to interpret why that person had the read in the first place

problem

I did the thing where I start with sometning and I go on a tangent and then people wonder what I’m talking about

i thought a gut read was thinking of someone in the game and going hmmm yes they feel good or hmmm no somethings not right

that’s not trusting a read that’s just making your own read

I still think credibility is something that affects whether gut reads have merit m but I agree that people don’t have to follow something without reasoning

with logic you can understand if their points have merit where with gut reads you have to try to understand why they had those reads in the first place and or use their credibility in order to see if their read has merit
