i think that trying to assign conditional probabilities and %ages to good players is a pretty futile excersize.
good players don't play the same hand the same way all the time, so to have any kind of preconcived formula in order to determine how to play a hand is a very nieve way to approach the game.

i mean i could be completely wrong on this, but i know from a personal standpoint i'll play big pairs or any two cards any number of ways depending on my opponents, game conditions, and numerous other factors and i don't think my opponents could possibly predict my range of actions based on some equations they've worked out prior to the game.
period.

If the purpose of this exercises was to determine a perfect formula on how to play in every sitution, I totally agree with you. This exercises can be really helpful though to found leaks and fundamental misunderstandings about the mathematical side of the game. If we try to consider all numerous factors in every hand that are discussed, most discussions would be pointless because only one or a few would know or "feel" this factors. Needless to say, adjustment always have to be done, and thats the beauty of the game.

I'm really thankful to all posters that are making these kind of efforts and putting in a lot of work on their posts (I'm to lazy for that). Thanks!!!
