Mason,
Can you be lured into a little more discussion of this one? Its one of my favorites.
Poker Essays 2 is from 1996, so this was written at least 6 years ago. Would you make any changes--based on games being different today? What about 9 handed games vs 10 handed? Any thoughts on application differences to on-line as opposed to "live"?
Any thoughts on the various "stat packages" and on-line poker site statistics that let a player compare himself to the 15% figure?
Finally, at the end of the Essay you describe a comparison between a loose wild player and a tighter player. You say the ones starting with a reasonable number of hands (but using a self- weighting strategy) lose their money faster than the loose ones. "They still get crushed" ---"They have no chance" Is this also due to the toughness of the LV competition? How about a little more info on your thoughts on this part of the Essay.
