And so that's the hidden information of the game.
The other players also all get two cards face down that only they see.
And so you have to kind of, as you're playing, reason about like, okay, what do they think I have?
What do they have?
What do they think I think they have?
That kind of stuff.
And that's kind of where bluffing comes into play, right?
Because the fact that you can bluff, the fact that you can bet with a bad hand and still win is because they don't know what your cards are.
And that's the key difference between a perfect information game like chess and go and imperfect information games like poker.
So the key thing to understand about why imperfect information makes things difficult is that you have to worry not just about which actions to play, but the probability that you're going to play those actions.
So you think about...
Um, rock, paper, scissors, for example, rock, paper, scissors is an imperfect information game.
Um, right.
Because you don't know what I'm about to throw.
Yeah.
And so you can't just say like, oh, I'm just going to throw a rock every single time because the other person's going to figure that out and notice a pattern.
And then suddenly you're going to start losing.
And so you don't just have to figure out like which action to play.
You have to figure out the probability that you play it.
And really importantly, the value of an action depends on the probability that you're going to play it.
