Default Re: Face up holdem.

I'm interested in the specific question so maybe I'll get back to it, but first:

[ QUOTE ]

Grand question: Is face up holdem solvable? Would there be no edge if 10 guys from MIT sat around a poker table playing face up holdem with a computer?

Yes, that is correct. In a way this is what makes the Fundamental Theorem of Poker work; there is a mathematically optimal face-up strategy, and deviating from it reduces your EV (unless it induces your opponents to deviate from their optimal face-up strategy even worse).
