most of the discussion thus far has seemed kinda unfocused and generally unproductive, so i thought i'd try to streamline some discussion and get talking on pretty specific exploitative strategies of this game that i'm 90% sure is beatable.

CLIFFNOTES: bet and raise constantly, fold constantly (in other words, play nitty/monkey); if there is dead money, and you have the opportunity to be in position in the hand, that money is as good as yours; do whatever would be profitable in a vacuum, 'cause you're in a vacuum; it doesn't seem worth it to do anything OOP. RED LINE FTW
