Hi Andrew and thanks for another very interesting strategy pod. I’ve been listening to your show since episode 4, which is now so far back it must have come out around the time of Star Wars – A New Hope! One thing occurred to me, during this show. It would be great if you spent a couple of minutes, after each hand analysis, going back over the hand briefly but this time from the opponents perspective. How did they reach this point in the hand and what was their likely perspective of what hero was holding? It takes two to tango and I feel that virtually all poker strategy (not just yours) can come across as treating villain as some largely unthinking nemesis that holds some cards and who therefore just stands between hero and the pot. Hope the show continues for many years and I look forward to getting my hands on a copy of your forthcoming book.
