You know, I'm wondering what your beliefs in free will depend on.

There's a great book on the idea that we, as humans, don't have free will. This is because when we look back at the choices that we may have had...we can't prove that they were really plausible.

Sure, we could say that we had the ability to choose the other option, but was it really there? This idea continues to say that free will is purely a chemical induced idea within our brains that makes us happier as humans.

Our brain fools us into thinking we had free will by creating other possible choices different from our intended path.

What's to say if he had played the hand, the flop would've been different? It could've been the same. It also could've been 44x or AAx or 555 or any number of a million different flops.

Then again, what does it matter if the flop would've been different or not?
