I, as well as many on this board, have a bad habit of thinking "well, my tidy little hand strength calculator and ICM equation (or sit-n-go analyzer) tell me for CERTAIN that X is profitable so that is that". Well, it isn't really as simple as that. Not by a mile.

Usually it is. Sometimes it isn't. Really depends on what you're talking about.

All these tools and theories are great (thanks for your contribution) but they stand in the way of true advancement if we accept them as dogma and don't search for more.


[/ QUOTE ]

In my estimation, no one who is actually capable of advancement actually thinks like that, so I think your notion of the theory "standing in the way" of anything is absurd.

Will people misuse theory? Will they misunderstand it? Constantly. I see it every single day on here.

what the truly great players are doing goes against the models and Sklansky etc.

99% of the time I think that's just false. Mostly there is simply confusion about what the theory says or doesn't say.
