Re: Which Is Better
Listen I agree that there is no substitue for the precise mathematical answer. I agree with that. But you create your own problem when you demand precision in situations such as the one Sklansky describes. My gosh your own statement should tell you that. K,9 you play one way and K,8 you play another. Do you truly believe that you will be able to be precise enough during a poker game to determine the distinction between the two?
In Sklansky's example the best and accepted, I believe, option to proceed is to call. Agreed? Your ICM model shows it to be optimal. But what makes it optimal is that you are trying to increase your chance of winning bt ganging up on the BB and giving yourself an option to continue should an unfavorable situation arise. (SB raises and BB folds).
So rather than make a statement of which I am not sure i will ask a question? In Sklansky's scenario what two cards do you fold according to the ICM?
If the answer is none then I do not agree with your arguement.
