For me, the best advice I ever heard came from a brazilian regular known as Cavalito. He said something like: “Poker is all about range interaction.” At first, it sounded too technical, but once I really thought about it, it completely changed how I approached the game. Instead of obsessing over my exact hand strength, I started thinking more about how my range interacts with my opponent’s range on each board.

It made me realize that poker isn’t about finding the “best hand” in isolation, but about understanding how both ranges connect (or miss) in different spots. That idea alone helped me stop overplaying marginal hands and start thinking strategically about how to construct lines that make sense in the bigger picture.

Dear enthusiasm, patience is a useful virtue at the poker tables. Take a close look at your opponents and their moves. Understanding the odds and positions is fundamental to making assertive decisions. Manage your bankroll wisely and ensure your participation for the long term. Remember, poker is a game of skill and strategy, with a touch of luck.

Yeah, I like this a lot. Trying to paint the bigger picture.
