Thanks for bearing with me and the circuitous/scenic routes I struggle to resist meandering through... :ROFLMAO:

Essentially choosing what to have for dinner is going to be a bit of a random/lucky dip type affair if you don't know [I]what types of food the two restaurants serve[/I], [I]how much anything costs[/I] or [I]what specific items are on the menu[/I].

So I just picked you up a set menu dinner for 1...  You owe me $29.99. :D ;)

Poker is a game of incomplete information, so during play it can be difficult to deduce whether any given play will have a [I]positive[/I] or [I]negative[/I] Expected Value.

However in retropsect/analysis, if a hand goes to showdown, we have ALL the information and therefore can see precisely how 'good' or 'bad' our decision was.

One of the key secrets/tricks to being a winning/profitable player is learning to consistently put chips in the pot in [B]+EV[/B] situations, and avoiding investing chips when it's [B]-EV[/B].

That is obviously easier said than done sometimes, but in successfully doing so ending up in profit (in the long run) is a mathematical certainty. ;)

This is why when breaking down a hand it's imperative to have (at the very least) all the relevant data. The more detail and additional information/observations- the better! ;) (y)
