Nice post. I hope it’s your last one.

Not trying to be rude, just trying to express my feelings toward that kind of approach. Maybe I'm just old school, but it's my opinion that that mumbo jumbo ain't gonna do you much good in most situations. If I knew what my % EV and "prebet equiity" was for every single situation I ever played in, that would be a great thing, but there are so many unique situations (especially in games like stud) that statistics are often useless for a given situation. The human mind simply can't maintain all of that information and make use of it in every situation. If it were two computers playing eachother, that would be a different story. I like to use my skills as a human being to get the best edge. I'm all about pot odds, but you've gotta draw the line somwhere. There comes a point where good old fashioned intuition is far better than all those numbers.

Just a difference in philosophy, sir. I apologize if I offended.
