there are books/articles that turn Blackjack into a +EV game(well till the casino boots you) what % of BJ players are +EV? not very many

there is a ton of information out there that will make people better at poker, many will never attempt to apply the info, or misapply it

I dunno everytime people write good strategy people say this. But so many people will misapply the concepts so it won't matter that much.

As for the second error, Im surprised that you dont recognize that shoving AK here is correct. Fundamentally, its easy to see why shoving with AK is better than shoving with 87, even though it intuitively seems wrong.

What assumptions are we making about the villain? Are we assuming that he never gets to the river with a hand worse than AJ and that he calls 100% of river bets?

If that's the case, shoving AK is better than 87, but then we shouldn't shove any bluffs at all.

(with 30% equity it would turn out we can fire 45% of the time obviously)

Sorry, but I don't get it. I thought it was an approximate but it seems ( with the word " obvisously " used ) that it is possible to calculate this 45%.
If anyone can explain me how to do, I will appreciate it.

Wait, Jman = Phil Galfond? Why was I thinking his name would start with a J? He levelled me..

[/ QUOTE ]

I think it was Irieguy that said when he first found out that Jman's name was Phil he "knew he would be an awesome dude"

I haven't read all comments, I just have to point out that this passage in the article is wrong:

"In the ultimate long run, your Sklansky Dollars earned and real dollars earned will be the same."

They will be close to the same, but saying that they will be the same is like saying that the cards dealt are dependent on the cards dealt in previous hands. If you after 100k hands are up 100k in sklansky bucks, but only up 20k in real dollars, the difference is 80k. The expected difference between your sklansky bucks and real dollars after playing another infinite number of hands will still be 80k (due to your crappy start) and not 0 as the article suggests.
