Re: Proof of Sklansky\'s theorem?
Simple. Prove it empirically.

The 2nd worst critique I've heard is that the theorem is too obvious and banal to be worth mentioning.
The worst is that it's not much of a solace to be told that you've somehow come out ahead when the opponent merely calls and you lose, because, had he known what you really held, he would have raised.
(Naturally had you thought his raise was a bluff and THEN called or worse, re-raised---ouch!).
If memory serves the FTOP holds true in all situations, but it's of paramount importance heads-up, for obvious (I hope!) reasons. However, like Clarkmeister, I can't quote chapter and verse. So I could be way off as to what TOP really says.
Nevertheless, heads up illustrates it most clearly, and subsequent skills, eg; inducing calls against strong hands, are all based upon the FTOP.
What do ya'll think?
