And of course my masterclass, I think does a good job of sort of compartmentalizing, like, you know, how to attack it on a deeper level.
And we, you know, we get it.
I try to get into what's funny when I did the masterclass,
I asked them, I was like, well, you know, how high end do you want this in terms of poker?
And they're like, we want really, really high end.
And I was like, oh, sure.
Then I started to explain really, really high end.
Like, OK, well, maybe the one below that.
So I try to explain really complex, you know, theory in a more palatable way in English, if you will, because some of these kids, you hear them talk and you'd be like.
Listen, I still think the book holds up to a certain degree.
Obviously, like, you know, it isn't optimal because there's like a more advanced strategies.
And if you played that way, people will figure out a way to exploit you.
But if you're like an average player playing an average buy-ins, like that's sort of what I coined like small ball approach, absolutely will work.
You know, at the highest level, you have to add much more, a lot more bluffing.
But overall, I think it's still, you know, for the most part, there's a lot of really, especially with tournaments, there's a lot of really good principles in the book.
So the biggest difference when you play, let's say nine handed, you know, against eight other players and, you know, heads up is first of all, just the type of hands and the number of hands you're going to have to play.
So the way that it works is if there's nine people, two out of the nine hands, you have to put in money and the other seven, you could just fold for nothing.
When you're heads up, you're forced to put money in every single hand.
