In the hold'em poker book by Malmuth and Sklansky they have a great chapter on short play. A few weeks ago I was playing in a short 10/20 game in the North West. In that chapter they say "this is a great play if the opposition does not understand what is going on - or something to that effect (meaning the statistical changes that takes place in short play)".
Well anyway, my play has lots of holes in it because I don't get to play very often and the 3 guys I was up against played everyday and made their living playing poker, I believe. Well, I played exactly like Malmuth and Sklansky suggested. I broke all three players, more or less, and one guy looked up and actually said "I can't beat you". All I was doing was following a really good recipe. Do you guys make chile? - lol, laughing with you.
I don't think these guys had read that chapter.
Remember, that even though Einstein made a quantum leap in thinking with his general theory of relativity, still he did know all of the physics in the world at the time.
