Its easy to say your opponents hand, but how well are you at reading your opponent in determining how strong (or weak) he is? Reading or manipulating your opponent isnt easy for everyone. Just playing according to Skylanskys hand strength guide and table position for example could be more beneficial for some and a case for your own hand being more important. Especially if you are an online multi-tabler.
In Live poker however, knowing your competition and their hand range is obviously extremely important so certainly I would say your opponents hand in this situation.

#13I vote for my hand, I think math should dictate a heavy % of your decisons. I would think it's rare that you would have that good of a read on an opponents hand. Agression can go a long way however........Comment -

#14Well it depends.
If you are holding the best hand possible after the river then obviously is yours. But if you are not holding the best hand possible then obviously your opponent's.Comment -

#17Depends on many factors, in limit Holdem, as the # of players at your table increases the strength of your hand must increase and vice versa..
It is hard to "make" a hand in Holdem, people that don't understand this can be exploited in shorter games...
