In this lesson, you will learn about "bluffing and expected value," one of the most important topics in card games. Rather than memorizing words alone, aim to explain the mechanisms and reasons in your own words.
Key Point
Expected value is calculated by multiplying the value of each outcome by its probability and adding the results; in situations with incomplete information, estimate the opponent's actions as probabilities as well.
