Does anyone here use battleship gaming theory in poker? This especially goes for Tournament play, where you can not reload. In a nutshell, your objective in battleship is to capture your opponents last ship. In tournament poker your objective is to capture your opponents last chip. There are many similarities between both games that has no been discussed much. I am opening this thread for discussion.

Chess and poker are both competitive games, there are bound to be superficial similarities, but that's where they end.
