Yeah, I know the whole all-in viewpoint. I'm trying to explore why it works and if its really correct or not.Originally Posted by Ripptyde
When you go all-in, you are likely to fold him. According to Sklansky's theory, that would be a correct play by him, which doesn't make you money. The way I read him, forcing your opponent into making the correct play is not the optimum strategy.
Getting him to make several mistakes is, again according the the Fundamental Theory viewpoint. Getting him to call a 1.5 or 2X pot size bet, then doing it again on the river, seems to be a better play-everything else being equal.
At the same time, giving him a free shot, or a raise that he can correctly call, isn't good either.
