Re: \"What decision do I make now?\" : Math will not get you there
[ QUOTE ]
I think you guys are confusing two very different things. While PokerTracker might be a useful tool, it is not the beginning or ending of "math". Math is very relevant to solving these sort of problems. On the other hand, PokerTracker numbers might not be that useful.

On that we can agree. The decision cited by Utah still comes down to a decision on what is the action that leads to the best possible gain (or at least it should). However, clearly your personal win rate, has nothing to do with the decision. If you have an objective measure for the persons raising standards (I know players who raise the same UTG and CO) then use it, if you dont have it, develop it (or anyother measure that floats your boat).
Similarly, if his system is really better than what he was using in the past then this better be based on some actual hard data rather than just his opinion, if he wants to convince others that he is right. Otherwise it would be like most in the card room who reply "I am doing OK" when asked how they did -- meaning the wife has not left him yet.
