Default Re: Median Best Hand Part II

Yes. I agree with your thinking. Better to get SOME good results than NO perfect ones. Something to keep in mind though is that the Stack/Pot ratios will be somewhat higher than without the simplification. That makes the 1.53 you calculated for A9s even more impressive. What a difference a field of competitor hands makes.

Something all this brings to light is that when tight play is advocated for early position in a ring game, it's not just the fact that you will be in a positional disadvantage, but it is also the fact that you are up against many unseen hands that can have yours beat.
