You Don't Need to Know Their Cards

The Smallest Poker Game In Town · Oct 1, 2026 · 26m

In this episode, Valerio and Ray discuss why poker isn't about guessing your opponent's exact hand—it's about thinking in ranges. A strong hand like top pair can still be a fold if the hands your opponent is likely to bet strongly are more often ahead of you than behind. Sometimes you'll fold and discover you would have won, but that doesn't make the decision wrong. Good poker is about making the choice that works most often, not being right every time.
