Default Re: Probablility and The Fundamental Theorem of Poker

Well I'd still like to make a couple of points, numeri, if I may:

(1) I'm sitting UTG pre-flop. No doubt I will get information about opponents' hole cards as the hand progresses, but right now I have no such information so does the FTOP apply to my initial decision whether to raise, call, or fold? In other words, why in this specific situation is one allowed to speak of being able to see opponents' hole cards but not future cards to be dealt?

(2) In a game of stud you've got spades showing but fold for a small bet in a large pot that a flush is likely to win. I conclude that your hole cards are not spades and, consequently, the probability of being dealt a spade next round is that little bit higher. In extreme cases this might affect my betting decision. I don't know, but it's a sincere question and I don't mean to be obtuse: don't stud players ever reason in this way?
