You may think so, but you're probably wrong. I've read many books and articles that explain how oblivious we are to the subconscious biases that go into practically all our decisions. For example, see Why Your Brain Is Irrational about Obama and Romney from this month's Scientific American.


Yes, I was not thinking about guessing what happened, but being aware that the action by the hand you are given is under scrutiny probably has some effect on your thought process.

Sometimes it can help to have seen the hand before. If you faced the same or a similar problem at the table, you already know what actions you would consider.
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

Yes, that's true if you happened to sit the same way and had a similar auction.

What if your opponent held the hand? Is it appropriate to tell the pollster what he did with it, if it is different from what you would do?

Yes, why not? The director may find the information useful, and if he doesn't he can disregard it.
