Re: I have to be ahead.....don\'t I?
Hi Josh,
I think you're missing the point. In your post, you are claiming that once you know that you are good more than 13% of the time, you know the call is good and results don't matter. What you fail to understand is that results provide us with the feedback we use to make the analysis of how often we are good in the first place.
The whole point of your post is that YOU DON'T KNOW how often you are good. So how would find out? By playing a lot of poker, seeing similar situations many times, and checking the results.
If you took a new player, and let them play 50,000 hands of poker, but never let them see the results of ANY of the hands, how do you think they would do? I bet they would be just about as clueless after as they were in hand 1.
Results are the feedback we use to estimate hand ranges and make predictions for future hands. These predictions are critical to playing winning poker. Therefore, knowing results is critical for winning poker.
