I only picked HU $200NL because it made the numbers easy and it was a math point I was trying to make - by all means assume that I mean $2NL FR and adjust the numbers, positions and other irrelevant details to suit if you think it makes a difference.
 
And while I don't dispute that you [B]can[/B] go through all that math when you're playing LHE, my question is how many people (especially beginners) actually do it for every hand?
 
The fact is that the math in LHE is almost always simple and most players will quickly learn shortcuts along the lines of "if there's at least X bets in the pot then it's OK to call one more on a flush draw" rather than actually doing the math.
 
You run into a lot less marginal or difficult to calculate spots (like the one I fabricated above) and even if you [I]do[/I] manage to come across a marginal spot in LHE you're only risking one bet so you're not really being punished for your mistakes.  Absolutely mistakes cost less in LHE but if you're not being punished for your mistakes, how are you going to learn?
