Basically what i'm trying to say is that there is no "perfect" way to play poker. You could program a computer to play "perfectly" however you determined that was, and i guarantee almost every player here could beat it at NLHE cash fairly quickly because they can adjust and a computer cant. This is why there are no good books for high stakes no limit cash, and why no1 is ever worried about high stakes NL cash bots.

In theory this is wrong. Game theory can prove there is an unexploitable strategy for poker. Because poker is a complex game, we don't know what it is. Just how complex, we can tell by looking at some of the other posts! But in theory you could program a computer to play this strategy and it would at least break even against anybody without adapting to their play.

In practice, whether anybody will ever come close to that is a different matter and you may well be right.

this is poker, not chess. There is no theoretical perfect way to play, because if i know you play theoretically perfect i can play similar to that and exploit it @ some spots (if u never change), then you arent playing theoretically perfect anymore unless you adapt. W/e i dont wanna argue about this, all im trying to say is that this decision which sklanksy presents us with actually involves too much information, and we hardly ever have this much information on an actual basis.
