Now, the idea of intentionally making a mistake in one hand to set up future hands is a whole other topic which is outside the scope of the FTOP. It would still be a "mistake" in the original hand because it was not the maximum +EV play for that hand, though it may be beneficial in the long run.

That makes no sense. The EV of folding is 0. If you bluff correctly, then you make money over the long, and thus is the maximum EV play.

I'm not talking about the simple bluffing situation in the last paragraph, that's why I said it's a whole other topic. A previous poster brought up the idea of making a play which is -EV in one hand but is a long term +EV move because of the set up value. That might be something like pushing a semibluff when you know it's slightly -EV (in that hand), but you know will set you up for increased value in the future. It's open to intepretation what the FTOP thinks of a play like that.
