This is what Mike Caro is saying about poker players:
1) Most hands your opponents play are at whim! That’s because there are relatively few
overwhelmingly strong or weak hands that dictate an exact tactic.
2) Some hands your opponents play at whim are the result of spontaneous decisions about
whether to fold, call, or raise!
3) Your opponents’ habits of playing a large spectrum of hands at whim is not necessarily
bad for them! Sometimes it can be closely in tune with game theory and can cause them
to “randomize” their decisions effectively.
4) When you try to analyze poker strategy, you need to realize that you simply can’t say
how most opponents would play a hand or — in many cases — if’ they would have
played a hand. They often don’t know this themselves until the very last second!
5) If you’re an accomplished player profiting from the flow of the game, many of your playor-
don’t-play decisions are made by whim at the last moment!
6) Your decisions made by whim at the last moment are not necessarily bad for you, either!
