hard · Poker Theory Preflop

Game: Six-Max NLHE | Format: Cash | Blinds/Antes: 1/2 | Effective Stacks: 100 bb | Hero Position: BTN | Pot Size: 1.5 bb Hero opens the Button to 2.5 bb and Player A (SB) and Player B (BB) both fold. Using the master profit equation Profit = sum L_i - L_self - R, how does Hero's skill impact the result?

1. Skill is a positive term that generates profit regardless of opponent errors.
2. Skill appears only as the minimization of L_self, acting as a floor that prevents chips from migrating to opponents.
3. Skill is primarily used to increase the R term through better site selection.
4. Skill increases the value of sum L_i by forcing opponents to play perfectly. (under this line) (under this line) (under this line)
