Default Re: Edge on pro players?

I don't think an "equally" good pro will simply not bother to study their opponent though. Part of being a good player is getting reads on your opponents, so when you stop caring to do that you're not as good as if you had. If they get lazy or something sure, but I don't think you can count on that for a consistent edge. And I don't think reducing the # of tables you play is an option for most "pros" just to get a slight edge on a couple players, as this is reducing their hourly rate.

But yes, I think you can get an edge. I just don't think you can say they're a better player than you are if you can get that edge.
