Some Discussion on Super System
So I was re-reading SS earlier (and it has been quite awhile) and came across something that caught me by surprise. Here's a quote from Doyle (pg. 421):
"As I said a little while ago, when a big pot's played...I've usually got the worst hand. I'd say over 50% of the time...when all the money goes in, I've got the worst hand."
WTH?!? Am I missing something here? I know his advice is supposed to be for tight high-stakes games - does that make this acceptible? Here's another quote on the subject of getting check-raised (pg. 436):
"It all reverts back to my basic style of play. My opponents know that if I've got any kind of a hand - any kind of a draw - and they do check-raise me...then all of my money (and theirs) is going in the middle. And...because they know that...it keeps them off me - it stops them from playing-back at me."
Is this acceptible against tight competition sort of like the BOW strategy Phil Gordon discusses in his Little Green Book? Is this kind of play acceptible due to a large enough bankroll? I don't know how these quotes flew over my head when I read SS before but they did. Anyone care to add to this?
