useless problem?

In Response To: useless problem? (Jason Lee)

First of all: my apologies to you if you think my posting was offensive to you personally.

I appreciate all your postings and efforts in improving your game, sharing your ideas and interesting positions, videotaping your matches and posting pics here from the events that you attend.

I think we disagree that 0.016 is tiny, and that 0.016 matters at any stage of a match. And yes, 0.016 at DMP might transfer to ~0.030 at match or moneygame.

But for me, when I look at my matches, I have many more and bigger problems than 0.016. That's why I think 0.016 is tiny.

I absolutely agree that not only the conclusion, but also the methods used are important while trying to solve a problem. But for ME (as I already wrote), I think I learn much more if the reasons and arguments support a clearly superior move over another one.

First of all, you're assuming that I did a rollout, saw the equity difference, and decided it was a good problem. That's not what happened. I saw an interesting position that I thought would generate good discussion and lead me to learn something.

Right: wrong assumption. My procedure is: I see a problem that I don't understnd. Ask the bot. Do I understand the problem now, can I see the logic? No?

Then I might post it and see what experts think.

In case two plays are very close, I alter the position slightly and check with gnuBG. Hopefully this way I understand the important factors and reasons of the original position.

Finally:

- I didn't say your postings in general are useless

- I finished with some questions to see where I am wrong and what other think.

- I will try to be more careful when I use the word useless next time ;-)
