Message: [QUOTE="Collin Moshman, post: 5417278, member: 62520"] I think that generally it's true. Imagine we're playing heads-up against a total calling station. Our cards are everything against this player. He almost never folds, so all we're doing is assessing whether our hand is likely best and value betting. We could get the top pro to fold sometimes so based on his betting patterns, the board, how active we've been recently, etc, we could disregard our cards and run multi-street bluffs to get him to fold (or occasionally have a monster hand we didn't know about!). The best for not having cards that mattered would be a weak player who was tight-passive and over-folded. Against this opponent, we show a big profit just by raising a lot pre-flop and c-betting flops. Combining all the above would make for a very long quote :) So on balance, I think your friend's idea works very well and that cards are more significant against weaker players than pros. [/QUOTE]
