No way.

Maybe one or 2 of them will have this particular strength that is stronger than your own, but it's not the norm.



Also, if they "know" that you have a flush there, then shouldn't you be making that bet without a flush there, sometimes? If they "know" you have A, then you can adjust and also sometimes have B. That's going to shoot holes in their strategy to always put you on the nuts and fold. Now they're also folding then you have your airballs.

They simply can't know whether you're doing it with the best or worst portion of your range for that spot. They can only be bad at guessing what fraction of your range is value and what fraction is bluff, just like we all are (at the micros).
I feel like I am getting more knowledge on the game but I am having difficulty at the tables. When I play my thought process is not equal to being off-table where I can analyze without the pressure of time-limits and villains betting at me . I played 1 hour in 2 days now because I don't have the confidence I need right now, I may be trying to learn too much in too short of a time span but I need to learn and improve as fast as possible. I get lost trying to put villains on ranges mid-hand, when good cards hit the board I am always feeling like villains hit them and I over-fold often to aggression. I have a problem when I try to put villains on a range using their VPIP from the HUD and understanding what that really means about their range, I know it means they play 30% of hands , but what hands ? I can use Flopzilla and scroll out 30% and it will show me but still I don't know what hes holding.How am I supposed to know when community-cards hit only a small percent of their vpip ? when I watch Poker pros play on yt they call stuff and say things like " we cant be afraid of the flush here its only a small portion of his total range? I poorly understand any of that.
I was just saying if a 4th club comes it might look obvious to villain I have been trying to catch, so he could possibly guess I have a good club, I feel like even though I have discussions on multiple forums daily and study every day that I'm too confused about ranges and how villains wider ranges interact with the board that it throws me off my game so I cant play right and overfold to fish.
