Episode notes
Play as an Outlier for Profit
- To be a top winner, play as an outlier, not the pack.
- Create a strategy that forces big errors, not one requiring extreme precision.
Know Opponents to Exploit
- Understanding opponents' strategies is crucial to find exploits and deviations.
- "Burn the books" was a headline to grab attention, not literal advice.
No Hand Has Value Preflop
- No hand has inherent value until showdown; many bets serve purposes beyond value or bluff.
- Play preflop hands more like bluffs aiming to realize value later at showdown.
