False. The strategy is different based on the size of your stack relative to the blinds.
If the blinds are $1-$2 and you have $10, you're probably going to go all-in or fold.
If you have $10000, then you can think more about trying to trap an opponent and get all their chips, instead of just trying to take the blinds.
- mbrameld 11y agoYou're both saying the same thing except you're saying "if the blinds are $1-$2 and you have $10" and he's saying "if you have 5bb". You're saying "if you have $10000" and he's saying "if you have 5000bb".
- fsk 11y agoWhat I'm saying is that I don't see how "all possible bet sizes" leads to a game tree of 10^161. It's got to be more unless they're taking some shortcuts, such as saying that a pot size of 24xBB and 25xBB are treated as equivalent. Also, it seems that they are only considering one stack size, where you have 100x or 200x the big blind. If the poker solver does all possible stack sizes, then it can't possibly be 10^161.
- TylerE 11y agoIn practical play the small blind is often the basic "unit", so usually the smallest delta between successive bet sizes are the size of the small blind, or half that (e.g. at $1/$2, allowed bets might be $2, $2.50, etc)
- TylerE 11y agoNope. Having a $200 stack at $1/$2 is the same having a $2000 stack at $10/$20. It's 100BB in either case, and the appropriate strategy is the same.
