Re: Median Best Hand II: complication
Yes. This is what makes the Skalnsky idea work. You assume that any hand with an edge to call does so. If you can show you have an edge under that assumption then clearly it's a +EV play because in reality your opponents will play less than perfectly. So you essentially use a hand ranking taylored to the hand you're looking at. Every hand that's a showdown favorite should be ranked higher. You can still use the p probability of a hand being "better" on that basis. I wouldn't worry too much about borderline cases like AKs vs 22 unless you know them already. Going by the Hand Matchup Types that I listed it's easy to see which hands should be favorites. I'd suggest trying to simplify things as much as possible. I don't think anyone's going to make precise decisions with the solutions. The value is in giving us a general idea of what's going on. Like you say, the solution for A9s UTG has already opened our eyes.
