Steve,

I would say that I agree obviously about optimization vs unexploitability. But what if I were to tell you that playing unexploitably includes playing optimally in certain ways against bad players, but in a more standard fashion against the more difficult, educated players? Really, this all has to do with nth level thinking and it's something I've written and talked quite a bit about but have not really shared with the community. FWIW, everyone knows this is obviously the key to poker, and 'staying one level ahead' will pretty much always be the elusive and nearly unattainable goal, achieved by only the best, and by some by accident.

I think you just like the word unexploitable, and describe your style of play as such.

I would also like to say that I think playing truel unexploitably in donkaments may actually lead to losing results, or at the very least, extremely marginal.
