Re: Theory of Deception; A poll
Deception: An attempt to disguise the value you place upon your hand.
Anything else you add can be refuted by specific example.
It doesn't have to be EV. It doesn't have to be random. It certainly doesn't have to be "an art". It doesn't have to work. It doesn't even have to have a purpose.
Using my definition, you can then make statements like "Deception is critical to beating the rake at high-limit games" or "Deception was useless against the fish at my table, I just played ABC poker."
