Default Re: Lee Jones Flawed Thinking

I do think they have the right to feel irritated.
But if they want to make the poker-advice the focal point then they need to drop all that other stuff.

I'm not even sure THEY would be willing to qualify their comments as 'author-tilt'.


And I think David had far more problems with Lee's article/method besides just the personal Harrington attack. And so do I for that matter.

David correctly points out that the system is quite flawed because, more often than not, you are NOT playing somebody who plays game-theory correct heads-up poker and to assume that you are (as a default) is a bad idea.

This is especially true at the beginning of heads-up for all your chips for a minimal edge (at best).

In fact, in purposes such as that, one would be best to assume, as a default, that their opponent probably IS NOT playing game-theory correct poker in that they are likely too passive or too tight.
And that an all-in from them is not going to be as nearly as wide a range of hands as Lee claims it could be from a game-theory correct player.
