Kind of an odd question... PL5CD and game theory

Mark you are way off.

1) We are INDifferent to Calling or Folding to a player that
bluffs with correct GTF. The EV's are the same.

Yes, you're right. Once somebody starts bluffing with the game-theoretic frequency then our choice of calling or folding doesn't matter. Calling with the GTF protects us from being exploited by an opponent who deviates from this frequency.

2) We should call sometimes not to improve our EV (we can't vs perfect GTBF) but to keep our opponents guessing wether we will call or fold in a particular case. Otherwise they, like Murkwa, will makes notes on us.

I'm not the one insisting we should only use the 50% calling frequency against an optimal bluffer, I think that was Big Limpin or Grifter. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

But, against a tough or unknown opponent we simply don't know whether he is bluffing at an appropriate frequency or not. If we deviate from the game-theoretic optimal calling frequency then there is no guarantee we aren't being outplayed.

3) .223 should be .333 NO?!?

Yup, basic math foils me again. Didn't matter because those terms were zero anyway.
