Default Re: Any review on the Gus Hansen and the Phil Gordon DVDs out yet?

I doubt you are going to see much like this in any publication and there is near-0 chance of seeing this in a DVD. Not because it is "secret," but because it is above most people's heads. Even people who have done or looked at analysis like this are likely to publish the simplified conclusions rather than all the math behind those conclusions.

Or we might spend sixty pages in a book discussing it.

By the way, I'm pretty sure von Neumann had the guy acting first with the only bet option and the other guy could only call. So of course the 'first player' had the advantage. We actually treat this differently, call it a "half-street" game, where the first dude has to check dark. Then the advantage falls to the button as usual.

By the way again, there's a slight "game of chicken" effect to jamming your chips into the pot headsup in a NL tournament, because you force the guy calling to decide whether to redistribute some of both of your equity to the other players in the tournament. However, except for this effect, there is NO game theoretical advantage to "right of first bluff."
