As an old-school poker player, I don't believe in no superpowers. My "power" is knowing when to fold 'em.
I can spot a sucker a mile away and know when the odds have turned against me in a hand. While youthful fools may chase long shots and inside straights, I know when to admit I'm beat. My superpower is discipline, experience, and knowing when it's smarter to walk away.
Some might call it an "ability to accurately assess risk", but I call it plain old know-how. The ability to avoid losing money I don't need to lose. After decades at the tables, you learn not each individual card, but the flow of the whole game. You develop an almost intuitive sense of the probabilities.
And that, my friends, is the closest thing to a superpower for an old poker player. Knowing when it's time to fold my hand.
