There are no such things as short run and long run decisions. There are only good and bad decisions. There are short run and long run results, which are effected differently (through the existence of variance) by that same group of impartial good/bad decisions. Cool? Therefore you don't play differently in either case. Your short run decisions are your long run decisions. They are one and the same. Your short run results however, are NOT your long run results.

To say the longrun is overrated, is to say the most accurate measure of your skill sans variance, is invalid.

I truly believe you had something worth while to discuss when you first created this thread, but the point was lost somewhere between "Create new post" and "Submit". I'm not even one of the mean ones around here. Check yourself bigroll. You might learn something. You can't come around here and make wildly illogical statements, expecting people not to challenge it. Never gonna happen.
