Re: On small edges and self-defeating lines
vnh. i've been thinking alot about similar topics alot lately, especially the second theory. i think that it is conceivable that the optimal line of a given hand in a given circumstance for a given indiviual could be considered a fuction of that player's skill level. that would lead to the most profitable line for a player of a particular skill level to take to avoid exposure to poor judgement as a result of misinterpretation of information that a better player can analyze and optimize to a formulation for the most profitable play in the long term. proper poker is proper poker. obvious equity edges, even good equity edges, must necessarily be pushed for consistent long-term winning. but the smaller the edge, the more skill it takes to identify and to be profitable by taking advantage of it. so in a nutshell, can the proper play be relative to the players level of skill?
