Default Re: Great New Player Advice From a New Player

They have already discussed this in several 2+2 books, but with a more techinical lingo. The technical jargon for this idea is that you want to imploy a non-selfweighting strategy. This essentially means that you increase the bet when the odds are more in your favor. The most obvious example of this is in black jack where card counters increase their bet when the count is favorable and decrease it when the count is not. In poker, it simply means make more money on your winners than you lose on your losers. The calling station is the ultimate self weighting strategy and this is why they are the most profitable opponents.
