Doyle philosophy troublesome

[Zim]

Received Supersystem for Christmas.

Rather enjoyed the book as it pretty much recommends doing everything I wouldn't at a poker table.

To whit:

"I'd say over 50% of the time ... when all the money goes in, I've got the worst hand. Obviously, I couldn't overcome that unless I had something to compensate for it. And my compensation is all those small pots I've picked up."

"I've got that pot paid for with all the small pots I've picked up. And when I play the big pot ... it's a freeroll."

Reminds me of the gambler who was "playing with the casinos money" after a few wins ... then loses it all due to negative expectation wages.

"After I've won a pot in No Limit ... I'm in the next pot - regardless of what two cards I pick up. And if I win that one, I keep playing every pot until I lose one."

Yikes.

Any thoughts?

Best,
Zim

(That said, Invader Zim recognizes superior intelligence ... and has been applying Doyle strategy to the best of his abilities. Results have been excellent, which is really quite disturbing.)
