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