Conversely, every time opponents play their hands differently from the way they would have if they could see all your cards, you gain; and every time they play their hands the same way they would have played if they could see all your cards, you lose.''&quot; (Source Wikipedia, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_theorem_of_poker fundamental theorem of poker])</div>
