Meat And Potatoes Real Life Good Question

[David Sklansky]

"All this math is crazy. What ever happened to playing the player"

Your second sentence is nonsensical. Because the question IS playing the player. But I didn't want precise math. That's why I said "about". My point here was to show how a player who usually has what he is representing, but sometimes doesn't, can make your decisions so tough that, out of position, a starting hand that is a definite favorite to be best is still in a lot of trouble. EVEN IF THE TRICKINESS OF THE OTHER PLAYER IS TOTALY, UNCREATIVELY, ALGORITHMIC.
