Default Re: Possible next step

Yea, I thought the Sklansky "Power Number" article was of more theoretical than practical value in that it was not necessarily the way to maximize +EV. However, it contained some interesting concepts that were worth thinking about. And I think it did have some practical value in more borderline situations where you might not feel your hand was strong enough for the big move. Especially if your opponent was one you would be reluctant to get involved with normally. No need to be afraid of him if even his perfect playback cannot beat you. We all know that as the blinds get bigger and our stack/blind ratio gets smaller we have to make moves in tournies. Sklansky was able to Quantify the Stack/Blind ratio aspect of the problem which I thought was pretty cool.
