Hi RH,
A beautiful post to say the least.

I'm curious about something though.

Under Strategy you say:


"...As JR has said, suited cards go to crap, while big cards go up in value...."

And


"...Pot odds are definitely important, but with good table selection, you can get a 70%+ seeing the flop and don't have to worry too much about odds for your draws..."

Umm... suited cards are drawing hands in most cases, so doesn't this pull two ways at once?

One adjustment I was planning to make vrs. the structured game was to play for more draws.

So would it be safe to say... "When you can get in for $2 and there are plenty of callers, chase the draws."

Another point for discussion:

"...Invest $2 from any position with any pair..."

Seems to me small pairs are a 1 in 23 shot. Much worse than a one in 8 shot to flop a flush draw... but somewhat better than the approx 1 in 27 that you will complete your flush draw.

So, though I believe what you are saying, I'm having a hard time proving it to myself with mathematical analysis.

So let me know what you think.

Sincerely,
AA
