Message: [QUOTE="eBuddy, post: 2164029, member: 101025"] But doesn't the equity increase because you're progressively adding stronger hands to the initial x/r range of draws? My understanding of the reason from moving from an unbalanced to a more balanced range is NOT to increase showdown equity, but to avoid being exploited by good players. If I'm unbalanced and only x/r with sets, I have very high equity on the flop, but the observant players can exploit me by bet-folding 100% of flops; if I add draws to my x/r range, I will have lower equity on that flop but those players will find it harder to exploit me and my win-rate will improve against them. Is this the point of Chapter 9 or am I misunderstanding? [/QUOTE]
