Default Re: Game Theory Resolution

There isn't a need for the SB to change from his optimal strategy either, since whatever he loses as SB he will gain as BB.

Yeah. There was some thought buried somewhere about how it *might* be worthwhile to try to get the BB to play sub-optimally and then exploit that, but the more I think about it, the less sense it makes. There's no reason for him to play sub-optimally, and the only thing you can do to try to get him to play a wider range is by playing a wider range yourself. But while you're doing that, even if he doesn't adjust, he's not as well off as he *could* be, but he's still better off than he was before you opened up, and it's going to be fairly obvious when you re-adjust to try to exploit.

So yeah, I guess there's really no third-level thinking involved here at all.

What a silly, silly game. I'm sure glad we have poker instead.
