We [HEART] Math Dorks

Thomas Schelling, the father of modern game theory, co-won the Nobel Prize today. Does that mean he's a badass Hold 'Em player? Not necessarily, even though (as this paper shows, in .pdf form) game theorists like Chris Ferguson are just that. One way you can learn about how this is applied to board and card games is to download this program here (free trial version available) from the good Canadians at The University of Alberta's Computer Poker Research Group. Perhaps then Thum will understand why I raise with 2-4 suited UTG.
