Defining \"outplay\"
Got into a semi-argument with someone about what it means to outplay. My definition(s):
1) Getting a better hand to fold a) By bluffing b) By betting aggressively (A and B _are_ different) 2) Slow playing a big hand to extract value (and succeeding) 3) Forcing a decision on your opponent that lets you outdraw and you do (the flop raise of an EP bettor and then the turn check/check for a free river card play, etc) 4) Inducing a bluff - however you do it. Anyone else have anything to add or modify? |

-only definition needed, causing your opponents to make more mistakes than you.

Re: Defining \"outplay\"
Making less mistakes according to the fundamental theorom of poker.
If you are making less mistakes and your opponent is making more, you are outplaying him. |

Re: Defining \"outplay\"
I like the FTOP approach but I realize that you are trying to be more specific.
So I would add folding in spots where your opponents would incorrectly call to your list. Everyobody loves fancy expensive plays but the good fold gets way less respect as a skill than is warranted. |

Going all in on a bluff and showing 32o and doing a backflip.

Re: Defining \"outplay\"
When you say "results oriented" I assume you mean in terms of monetary gain.
I understand what you're saying and actually agree with you, but that is not what I was trying to talk about with my post, not even close. The definition of "causing your opponents to make more mistakes than you" is simply a longer way of saying "outplay" you are saying..thats fine. My OP was being granular about what can be part of outplaying, not a redefinition of the term itself. Poor choice of words on my part by using the word "definition". |
