Message: [QUOTE="zinzir, post: 5552933, member: 406896"] We are talking apples and oranges. I agree with pretty much everything you said in both of your posts, it's just that your statements are parallel to my theorem. You are using Sklansky's theorem to address how to deal with loose and/or aggressive players. My theorem has nothing to do with that. The only things that my theorem borrowed from Sklansky's are the format and the meaning of the terms "gain" and "lose" which imply gaining and losing value, and not winning or losing hands or money or sessions. Again, my theorem is independent of the particular cards held by the players, player ranges, seeing or not seeing the cards. All that stuff has no influence on my theorem. Even if the players have their cards exposed my theorem stays the same. All my theorem states is that a player benefits the most from putting all the money in pre flop if he is facing a more experienced opponent, and from making the largest bet after the river when facing a less experienced opponent. The reason is that the less experienced player is expected to make mistakes on each betting round and the more experienced player capitalizes on them. It does not imply that a good player should not go all in pre flop with his strong holdings. It just states that when doing that against an inferior opponent he loses some value, because now it's up to the hazard to determine the winner and the superior player's skill becomes irrelevant towards what happens on the flop, turn and river. The value is lost regardless if the inferior player hods 72, AA, or anything in between, because if the hand was played any other way, the better player would have the value of capitalizing on opponent's mistakes added to the mathematical probability of winning the hand based on the cards he is holding.
