This is what you do.
And that's it, you know, and then everyone's similar to that.
And then you have, of course, the outliers who try to do things a little differently and confuse people.
Yeah, specifically there's one guy who last year sort of took the poker world by storm, and his name is Michael Adamo.
And he was doing things, like I said, most of the top pros play very similarly with the way that they construct ranges and their bet sizing and all these kind of things.
He was doing some crazy things that nobody else was doing.
So he studied, you know, sort of a different form of poker and it was unorthodox and it, you know, it throws people off because he's in his comfort zone with these bet sizes and different things, whereas everyone else, they're not well studied in those spots.
So as a result of him being unorthodox, he became like a monster and very difficult to play against because he really knew what he was doing with it.
It was tournaments.
Yeah, he was crushing tournaments.
He was going against the norm in terms of what is like, you know, this is what you should do as a poker player in this spot.
He wasn't doing that.
He was doing what he thought was best.
And he was doing things outside the norm that, again, in a vacuum, you could look at that and you go, that's incorrect.
That he should not do.
That is a clear-cut mistake.
Even, you know, the solvers or the computers or game theory would say, this is wrong, what he's doing.
But it's not wrong if he's doing it in a way that he's exploiting other players' tendencies.
So for example, with him, say he's playing far too aggressively.
