Re: Fictitious play for multi-player games
@ plexiq: true if the pusher would adjust to his callrange then his EV would be higher but:
does the pusher acutally wants do adjust? in gametheory usually you assume that strategies are common knowledge and therefore are always exploited which is clearly not true to poker
but assuming that as soon as you thighten up your range basicly he is gonna tighten up too in his calling range. so you give him a walk more often and he also adjust to your calling range
my question is: might this be a better option for the pusher? if so he has motivation to deviate
else he is gonna be punished but basicly can do nothing about it
(this is strict game theory thinking)
now if you go to practice where strategies are acutally hidden it might acutally be good to deviate because the opposite player cannot adjust prefectly to your new strategy...
but i just wonder from a strict theoretic standpoint and i really doubt that he should deviate if the caller knows his strategy...
