Don't think I understand Eastbay.

Strategy A leads to the player with the most chips at the start of the HU match winning virtually 100% of the time, no?

[/ QUOTE ]

Not virtually - exactly.

[ QUOTE ]


So that player has more skill (or rather the lower stacked player has no skill as he just folds every hand giving the game to his opponent).


[/ QUOTE ]

No. Both players are playing identical strategies. Clearly then both strategies must have equal skill - because they are the same.

[ QUOTE ]

Strategy B takes skill entierly out of the equation.

[/ QUOTE ]

Any two identical strategies takes skill out of the game.

And yes, there are a couple of proofs of $EV = Chip count in HU in TPFAP, one of which is calculated on the basis of both players going all-in every hand.

[/ QUOTE ]

Right, but there is also a 'purely logical proof.' Can you quote it for us? It seems clearly wrong, at the very least through insufficient qualification.
