Re: Studying Othmer (stud high)
I hadn't heard of this book until this thread.
What I find interesting is that it sounds like this book is explicitly based on showdown sims.
This is actually the same approach that 7CSFAP takes, except for some reason S&M decided to hide their work in 7CSFAP by simply stating their conclusions and expecting you to take them on faith.
All of those lines like about how you should play to eliminate with hand X and you should reraise 3rd with draw Y if you have 2 or maybe one overcards, and so forth, are based on simple computer sims of showdown equity.
It's this underlying rigor that makes 7CSFAP a lot more reliable than HFAP, for example.
