Default Re: prove higher level thinking to me

woah... if you're always 50/50 right or wrong why not just flip a coin? Seriously, does anyone play poker anymore? Sure, it's theoretically possible to come up with an unexploitable game theory strategy to poker, but that doesn't mean it would be the optimal exploitive strategy. Poker is about exploiting your opponent's mistakes.

Again, poker is about exploiting your opponent's mistakes. That means you have to know what mistakes your opponent is likely to make in order to know how best to exploit them. You do this by observing their play and figuring out how they think. Granted, this is harder to do online than when you're actually sitting there with a living breathing human being. As a poker player you have to find out how your opponents think. And they're trying to do the same. And that's why there is multiple level thinking. It only breaks down if you let it.
