Brier Mistake #1
"As an aside, a typical betting sequence in which you go all the way to the river will result in your putting in more than 14 percent of the money that ends up in the pot. This is due to the fact that not all of your preflop opponents will stay all the way to the river."
This idea overlooks the fact that the play (raising ATs against several limpers is profitable.) in and of itself is profitable. He attaches the potential for bad post-flop decisions as a reason to pass up a play that by itself is profitable.
not sure I said that right. I guess it would be like saying that you should not raise AA before the flop, because you may misplay it afterwards. If the ATs play ends up losing money, does not mean that the mistake was made preflop.
