TajProfessor: Optimal Betting Curve (is John Turmel a nut?)

[Cerril]

Some things are relevant, but for the most part he seems to ignore that poker is a game of incomplete information (I feel like that phrase should be trademarked, but I'll use it anyway, cliche` or no). If you know something is the case and you also know your opponent knows something is the case, and your opponent plays rationally then that sort of betting strategy has some merit - obviously if you'll get called with a worse hand 0% of the time and your opponent will check behind 100% of the time, then betting is pointless.

But yes, he does forget about all those things that involve your opponent not seeing your cards, and you not knowing exactly what they hold.
