Re: What\'s With This DERB?
I happened to read this this afternoon and I thought it was pertinent to this discussion.
"Many plays are neither right or wrong, but are just different ways to play a hand. These differences in the play of similar hands will keep opponents off balance. A play that looks bad or doesn't work on one hand may generate a mistake from an opponent on another. Players who make their opponents play badly often don't get the credit they deserve. The 'starting-hand policemen' say, "Look what he started with!" There are players who appear to play more hands than they should, but win because they bet their hands well and force their opponents to guess what they are doing."
Barry Greenstein, Ace on the River, page 203.
