Re: Isolating with the Gigabet Dilemma (long)
[ QUOTE ]
The basic bullet point is: Eliminate short stacks that are attacking your stack, or are feeding the certain medium or short stacks stacks on your right that are a threat to you.
I have no dispute with this logic.
However, I think it's absurd to put your stack in constant -cEV jeopardy to set this situation up, since the conductor has little power over what the orchestra members do, so to speak. Once the situation is set up, you will be lucky if this type of format will retain itself for more than a round of hands.
If one is FORTUNATE enough to walk into this type of situation Gigabet has tried to set up, it should be extremely profitable. Whether or not it can be set up without taking enormous -EV risks and also be expected to sustain itself for a long enough interval for the big stack to profit from is something I am highly skeptical of.

spot on my man. btw, a lot of the "-cev" plays might not be quite as "-cev" as people give them credit for, a lot of them are just good poker (and many are just bad poker as well).
