Re: Theory of Deception; A poll
I like it.
One of the things that some others in the thread are not taking into account in trying to define this is that they try to include all ATTEMPTED deceptions. Not necessary. Inclusion of attempted deception that didn't deceive anyone is not necessary because it is not a deception.
Also, it is not necessary to assume that you won the hand due to the deception. If the opponent misplays the hand as a result of the disinformation but still draws out on you, the deception remains +ev. You still get SklanskyBucks for the deception.
Therefore I think the definition you and I are proposing is not only correct but complete.
