You can't fine tune a strategy to just one opponent (even if that opponent is optimal) and call it optimal against all.

If you can fine-tune your strategy in a way that is +EV, then one of the two of you isn't playing optimally at all.

That's the whole point of trying to find these equilibrium strategies.

That's only true if the there is no positional advantage in the game.

You can find strategies for P2 that are +EV because this game has a 1/9 ante advantage for player P2.

Can you find a strategy against my P1 which gives P2 an EV > 1/9?
Can you find a strategy against my P2 which gives P1 an EV > -1/9?

[/ QUOTE ]
I already gave examples of adjustments vs your P1 *and* your P2 that are quite clearly +EV.

[/ QUOTE ]

That's not true.

Optimal EV for P1 against my P2 is -1/9
Optimal EV for P2 against my P1 is +1/9

None of your strategies reached or exceeded those EV's
