Re: Whats in a Range

On a hypothetical level if one option is clearly "better" you take it. The point is that the majority of situations in which you start with at least a medium sized stack do not involve a specific "better" option. In those situations a mixed strategy is the "best" option.

I think now it stands to reason that if it is early at a table you are likely to be at for awhile, you should now make a play that differs from the ideal (especially in a common situation. TPTK etc...) so that in future instances of this situation players will have the wrong memory imprinted as your status quo. "Wow! He checks two pair on a coordinated board? OK...". This in turn allows you to play the situation in the "ideal" fashion a disproportionally high amount of time, just because first impressions are so much more lasting than long term observations.
This came out more convoluted than I wanted... hope it makes sense.
