Please do not put words in my mouth.  A purely mathematical poker is a negative sum game when you consider rake.  Is this wrong?

Gus seemed to offer his notions that poker goes way way beyond the pure mathematics, into a wide range of other factors, psychology for one, story telling for another.  And others.  Deductive, and inductive logic, but at a stretch those would be considered pure mathematics.  I do agree with those notions of the game.

I agree with you about poker being a beatable game.  So would gus I would guess.

For you to espouse a single approach is as wrong as anything you rail against here.  There are many different, and successful approaches to the game.  We improve by learning as many of those different approaches as possible.  We may alter our game some, or reject a certain approach, but understanding those rejected approaches is important.

If I had an innate ability to read hands, I would have to worry so much about villain ranges......ldo..  I do not have that innate ability so I do have to consider ranges.  Perhaps gus does have that ability, I have no clue.  More power to him if he does.
