The difference between profit and loss is so marginal u need to push every edge, no matter how small.
If you know youre ahead, even a bit, exploit it.
btw thats a really bad fold, if you folded. AQ/AK almost always.
ok i will trust that....and given your explanation then yes i knew it was a bad fold.....been reading some T. guerrara on edge needed for certain roi.....if you don't play that way then i won't....need tkpbtn book to reference and discuss...but maybe not needed....
it was you guys hammering into me to take any edge...so ive been doing it....but thinking i should be makin more......
i love amanda lang
thx
ps what do you know.....
well we'd have a different range too .......book is mostly about online.....the chapter was on n-ups....double up etc. but it wasn't about being profitable it was about the edge needed for double ups to produce a higher roi...but in the same sentence talked about taking any edge you could get...little confusing...might have to ask him .....^-^
Yea theres a few different philosophies out there and I think each author has his own take, but it basically boils down to those that argue tournament life is paramount and those that argue pushing edges is trump.
old guy is like KK+ always here.
You really thought I had KK+ ?
