Re: I Know 2+2 Wants To Kill Me For This......
Very interesting concepts, I'm glad I found this thread.
Here is my take on it. Let me know if I'm not understanding something here please...
If you are in an EV neutral situation, you, as a good postflop player, are best served by not raising and bloating the pot. This allows your postflop edge to work more for you when your situation changes from an EV neutral situation to a +EV situation. The other players will be making bigger mistakes because the size of the pot does not cover their losses, and you will therefore be making bigger gains. Also, if your situation becomes a -EV situation, you can dump your hand, preventing you from making those mistakes too.
This seems analogous to the concept of protecting your hand, or of waiting until the turn to protect your hand a la SSH.
