Default Re: SAGE system HU. Seems good, but I have one problem with it.

If the SB only pushes with AA and folds everything else, then you should obviously fold when the SB pushes to maximize profit. Duh.

SAGE only lists the optimal strategy. Optimal strategies are guaranteed to be profitable against any other strategy, unlike a strategy where you, say, fold every time the SB pushes.

if you read it you will notice that it states that anyone who deviates from this strategy of calling/pushing will have less of an edge. But surely the calling ranges cant correct all the time. Thats what i was saying. No need for your sarcastic comments.

What that means is that if the SB deviates from SAGE (for example, by only pushing AA), he is putting himself at a disadvantage. This is true even if the BB sticks to the original SAGE calling range. The fact that there might be an even more profitable strategy for BB if he knew exactly what the SB was pushing with does not negate the fact that he still retains an edge with SAGE.
