I even asked in IRC yesterday if anyone could think of a situation where it is not the case and some FTR reg said no, unless your life or bankroll depends on opp folding the hand.

Now for the fundamental theorem of poker, I think I get it also: if opp folds, he "makes a mistake" because he has sufficient showdown equity to profitably call with the pot odds offered to him. So we gain from his mistake if he folds. If he calls, he does not make a mistake, so we loose. What we gain or loose when he folds or calls is the difference between our EV when he folds ($12) and our EV when he calls ($10.95), so $1.05

No?

And as far as buying in full, we do, but we also face short stackers a lot, so this kind of stuff doesn't happen so rarely that it is not worth mentioning, right?

...feel like I'm gonna get trout-slapped again...

Right on 100%. As for another example like the bold, you'll also see people saying you should never value bet when you're behind your opponent's calling range, which is also incorrect.

I'm pretty much not posting in any threads you're remotely involved in anymore.

If you can't take poker advice for beginners then get out of the poker advice forum for beginners.

Hope the bold is a level.

Edit: Fine, I'll ninja edit my post too. I think this thread has served it's purpose anyway.
