I have been thinking about this before on another level, but from the theorem perspective; shouldn't we actually be playing more hands?
Why? Your completely correct. They are playing weak ranges, and making bad calls based on our betting range. The more pure value hands we have in our range, the more calling is a mistake. Playing more hands (therefore weaker ones) makes a bad call less of a mistake.
I've been staring at this for about five minutes. I think I'm starting to get it now. But there's a balance. We want to play 100% of pure value hands. So my question is, what are "pure value" hands? For me, I have solid +EV from all positions with all pp's, AQ+ and decent EV from LP with A9+ and KQ. Is that how you're defining pure value?
