Re: Whats in a Range
Don't want to let this thread go, because it's too valuable.
At the lower limits and maybe even higher limits, if you play the situation, does this not really randomize your play, or give the appearance of randomizing? Given the hand, your position, and the opponent(s), the correct play is rarely the same play, therefore it appears random to most opponents who think of these thing, which happens less often than any existing pattern.
Where I think game theory becomes important in low limits is when you have a common hand in a common situation, something like AK in UTG+1, and the opponents would expect you to raise 3X the BB and you choose to limp or raise 4X, because it's not what they expect you to do in this situation and it would make it harder for them to put you on AK, as if they could, anyway. It would esp make it harder for them to expect whatever you do next time, as you clearly are not playing from the norm.
Yes, no?
Is "game theory" as applied to poker, as much gaining a psychological edge as mathmatical?
