Default Re: Lee Jones Flawed Thinking

Hi Josh:

The problem with this statement is that if "lesser players" were to call at the frequency that SAGE suggests, they will do not as well as they should if they take into account that most of their opponents will not be playing as aggressively as SAGE assumes.

The fact that you could write such a painfully obvious contradiction in the same post where you criticize other professional writers is comical.

This is a statistical concept that is important in many aspects of poker (and other gambling). You need to understand that not all errors are created equal. In terminology that I used years ago, this is "self-weighting" thinking. (See my book Gambling Theory and Other Topics.)

Best wishes,
Mason
