What'd be stronger: Knowing the C.cards beforehand or x-raying all hole cards?

If you could choose your poker-related super power, which one of these two would it be?

My answer is: seeing the hole cards. No more bluffs and very easy to psych out the other players.

And I would just like to be a billionaire. Why complicate things. :)

It is better to know the outcome of the distribution in advance than the process itself.

Bump!

I still think it's a very interesting question.

I am for fair play🙂, and if there were such superpowers in the world, I am for having the ability to see what kind of superpower a person has and whether he has it at all.
We would occupy a certain niche by organizing a mandatory commission to identify such people and then exclude them from all poker rooms.
As an alternative, a separate poker room would be created for them. Let them enjoy poker, measuring their strength in whose superpower is cooler. 😆

And we would also create a whole laboratory for the study of superpowers and the creation of serum or other tools to suppress such superpowers, so that if a person wants to return to honest poker, he, on a voluntary basis, could give up his superpowers.
That's what I bent!!!😆😆😆😆 (ominous off-screen laughter).😱😈

I would not choose any ability I am a very honest person and I would like the game to be interesting and everyone played under the same conditions and the game becomes very interesting when no one sees the opponent's cards, that's why it's interesting if you see the cards then you would be bored to play well, unless you play to earn money then this is another question but my principles above that my honesty will not give weakness

I'd go with the hole cards because on a full table you'd know 18 or 20 cards that were already out of the deck. That is close to forty percent of the deck which would give you a big advantage.

It would be better to know the hole cards. You could lose a big pot with your AhAs if the community cards were AdAc KdQdJd And you didnt know your opponent had the 10d.
