Good Hand?

I heard this quote from one of two friends, sitting in a $4/$8 limit HE game at Foxwoods, who had got involved heads-up pot. Poker players have a strange tendency to state the obvious, as if it makes a profound statement about life, the universe and everything. Usually, it's a simple fact that anyone just learning the game knows. As the one friend had just reraised the other on turn after a cap on the flop, the other friend said:
I know you have a good hand. It's just that I don't know how good.
To the tables' credit, nearly everyone burst out laughing. One fellow
nearby them responded: I think you've just made the fundamental
point of poker
