But you see this exactly the myth we need to dispel. This is why I laid out this foundation
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sh...98&postcount=5 of 1 certain way we can view the game. Its not a proof the game should be a laid out this way, its 1 certain perspective we might take.
It happens to be the one that shows that what you are assuming here is just that, an assumption. And it is the conversation started with you, about a better way to play PD, that started all the these people ridiculing me and saying I don't know what a nash equilibrium is or what it is for.
But I've learned a lot since then, and I've come to know I am right, as when I started I was only fairly sure because I couldn't show it.
Now with one thread I can show exactly how the players can work together for significant mutual gain.

So when I say good players make +ev changes, we are talking for both the current game and the longevity of it. Makes 100% sense right, that a smart person would not want to ruin the game. And it stands to reason just as much that a poker player that looks for +ev opportunity to exchange there time and money for can also recognize and support certain +ev lines.
Now I admit we are functioning on the assumption that regs are winning players that make +ev decisions, and recs are losing players that play purely for the enjoyment.
But sometimes adding an assumption actually clarifies things without necessarily having its own ground. (I think its called induction but I am terribly sorry if its not the word, maybe recursion).
Please don't take offense, but I must say it. If you don't realize that the intelligent poker player wants decisions that are good for the entire community, then you are one of those players that doesn't understand. We have been functioning too long as a community that pretends we can not identify the posters that will help this game. We pretend this on the tables fine, but publicly certain playesr will be seen to have a TRUE and INTELLIGENT intent for the overall morality and integrity of the game as laid out in my link. And what we mean by that is ALL players should covet a fair and profitable game, that is profitable to regs, where regs are those that work hard for what they are given, and what they are given is money in exchange for entertainment.
The problem we are having, is that too many bad players, and i really mean "bad players" (adyo definition) have been running around suggesting we must run a game that tricks degenerate gamblers, rather than running a game that attracts those that are looking for entertainment.
You might say, "so what thats obvious" and I hope so, but I want to show, in one single section of the forum, how exactly this leak has spewed into our entire collective game, and what can be done to put an end to it.
1 thread, 1 small change, and it will be undeniable that we have new direction to move that is +ev for every single player in the game.
Thank you for as far as you have read.

So if we can mathematically show that a certain suggestion is not good for the game, then it stands to reason....
