Re: Ciaffone and Game Theory
Mason,
It is true that you make more money by not using game theory against a player who is also not using game theory as long as this situation remains static. Poker is not static though, and by making tough lay downs you may encourage these opponents to begin playing more correctly. So while it is true that you should play in such a way as to capitalize on your opponent's errors, you must also make sure to keep him playing incorrectly.
BTW, After an enormous amount of thought, I have added a response to our discussion about Ciafone's book in the mid-limit forum. I also responded to Sklansky's analysis of one of the hands.
