Re: This business of adjusting to the ante structure
[ QUOTE ]
The point that the particular players in the game are important is completely self-evident. Everyone knows that. It was never in contention.
The question is what the impact of the ante is. To illustrate that point we must hold the quality of the players constant.

The question as I see it is what the impact of the ante is relative to the impact of the quality of opposition. The impression that I am getting is that some people are arguing that the ante structure is of much more relative importance than is actually the case. Adjusting to opponents who are looser or tighter than average is more important than adjusting to a structure that has smaller or larger antes than average. Both are clearly non-negligible, but one seems to be much more important than the other.
