Re: Comparing WLLH 3rd edition to 2nd edition

One should be reminded from the comparison to the dealer in Black Jack that a pure strategy will never work. Once people know what you are doing, you will lose (Fundamental Theorem of Poker).

This is true, given that your opponents are actually sophonts. That's often in doubt in the smaller games. (Smaller being up to 2/4 inclusive on Party, and probably 10/20-15/30 something live.)
As long as the opponents think that the fact I am a Leo will have a bigger impact on how they do against me than the fact that I have read alot of poker books and spend a fair amount of effort on improving my game formulaic play is the best play.
A pure strategy, as long as it's actually close to the correct strategy against a table of amnesiacs, is what works best against morons.
I wonder how long it will take people to realize this. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
