Oh, Abdul. Assuming that you answer the three questions in my previous post
with ease, and I am assuming you can, since you have these great conceits
about being a brilliant poker theoretician -- here is a somewhat more
challenging question for you --

Please make an exhaustive enumeration of all strategic options available to
both players in headsup action in limit holdem after the river card has been
dealt. Please summarize these strategic options as an NxN game payoff
matrix. What is the value of N?

What is the correct labelling for the rows and columns of this NxN payoff
matrix? Please give the mathematical value of each of the elements, or
cells, of the payoff matrix.

Those of you who know the answer to this elementary problem in applying
mathematical game theory to holdem strategy, please remain silent and let's
see if Abdul even understands the question, let alone is able to provide the
correct answer.

Just thinking out loud,
why bother asking Abdul anything,
if you had already presumed that he would not understand the question,
that would only let know that you have studied a specified area of
expertise
long enough to acquire the terminology and that Abdul have not,
that piece of information would have absolutely no value?

Razzo, why is it that you always take it upon yourself to determine who is
who? Can't Abdul answer for himself? I have played with him and spoke to
him, and consider him to be an excellent player, and very knowledgeable in
poker theory.
And William, give the guy a break. I am sure there is some slight,
perceived or otherwise. But, these types of posts were just recently
denounced by you as being anti productive and just plain ridiculous.
Why can't we leave personalities out of our poker judgment as far as posting
goes, and if we don't like someone, we can ignore them, or killfile them,
can't we?

Please explain how I am supposed to know it is an imposter??? The post says it
is from Abdul Jalib. How am I supposed to know that it is not Abdul? Please
explain why I should get help? You need help, because you seem to think that
everyone should be able to recognize anything that is inauthentic or fake.

I have done a lot more than study these areas of mathematics long enough to
acquire the terminology. I have been an expert in all these areas for over
thirty years. I have done considerable unpublished research on applying these
mathematical disciplines to the development of a theory of optimum poker
strategy.

Shortly after I started posting on this newsgroup, Abdul made a post advising
everyone to killfile me because I was a troll. It is obvious that he would
prefer that no one read my posts. Why? Because he is pretending to be
something he is not. He is not an expert on poker theory, as far as I can see.
If he were, why wouldn't he want to talk to me? I posed these questions to him
to find out if he had any knowledge at all of the mathematical disciplines which
will be the basis for the formulation of a theory of optimum poker strategy.
Maybe he is very knowledgeable in the areas of game theory and mathematical
statistics. If so, I have not seen any evidence of this knowledge in anything
he has ever written.

It is pretty clear to me that Abdul is a phony in the same way Mike Caro is a
phony. Both are pretending to be something they are not -- experts on poker
theory. Caro's ignorance is laughable, and he has been repeatedly laughed off
RGP.

Abdul may very well be a strong winning player. I do not know. I just read a
post by Shawn that Abdul is a solid player and knowledgeable about poker. I
respect Shawn's opinion. I do not dispute that Abdul is knowledgeable about
poker. His essays speak for themselves. I will concede that Abdul has
credentials in the area of poker strategy -- the nuts and bolts of playing
hands against different types of players. I will not concede that Abdul has any
credentials whatsover as a poker theoretician. By poker theory, I mean a
theoretical mathematical framework which provides a rigorous analysis of optimum
poker strategy.

If Abdul is for real, and not a phony, why wouldn't he want to talk to me? If
he needs educating in game theory and statistics, I am just the one to educate
him. The problem with Abdul is that he has a huge ego, and vastly overestimates
his poker knowledge. He has managed to convince a lot of you that he is the
ultimate authority on poker theory. That is why he wants everyone to kill file
me.
He cannot bear to have everyone find out what a phony he is.

I posed these challenges to Abdul to find out if he was at all mathematically
sophisticated. I seriously doubt that he is. Any holdem player who has taken
an undergraduate course in finite mathematics could easily answer all the
questions I have posed. These are not at all difficult questions. If Abdul
cannot answer my questions, without referring to books or asking someone else,
he needs to come clean and admit that he knows nothing about poker theory. Is
he knowledgeable about applied poker strategy? Yes, without a doubt. Is he
knowledgeable about poker theory? Not as far as I can see. If he cannot easily
answer my questions, the answer is definitely NO.

I don't think so.

Who are you challenging in this thread? If you don't even know who is
or isn't Abdul, what is the point of the challenge? You're just
challenging someone, anyone, who signs posts as "Abdul", or anything
similar. From your perspective, there isn't anyone there - there's
just a post, and a signature, which become a launch pad for another of
your paranoid rants.

Because you are sick.

So I didn't notice that the post was from "Adbul" not "Abdul". I fail to
follow your reasoning process that concludes that because I overlooked this
minor spelling difference I am sick. I would suggest that it is you who are
sick for going around telling people that they are sick, with no evidence
whatsover to support your diagnosis.

By the way, the post that started this thread is addressed to the real Abdul.
Please do not accuse me of tilting at windmills. You are intellectually very
dishonest, and draw conclusions about other people that are totally unwarranted.
As I said, you are the one who is sick and needs help. I guarantee you that I
am far and away the healthiest person, both mentally and physically, that you
have ever had communication with. You should avail yourself of my assistance
and advice, rather than pestering me with your ridiculous diagnoses and
conclusions. Go take a course in critical thinking and logical analysis, then
come back and talk to me some more.

Well, Peg, look at the times of your post, and my post earlier in this thread.
You will see that I noticed this before you did. I am also still waiting to see
you write a post of more than two sentences. One of my essays is longer, and
has more intellectual content, than an entire month of your snide, sarcastic
posts. Are you retarded, or are you still in kindergarten?

I noticed it when it was posted and watched you challenge the imposter. When I
decided you'd floundered long enough, I posted the answer before reading any
other posts after it. Yes, you had discovered it before I posted.

I am also still waiting to

Kindergarten. As soon as I get through this pesky Dick and Jane series, though,
I've been promised I'll be promoted to first grade. It sure is a bitch, though.
When will I be intellectual enough to call myself The High Priestess Of
SomeMythologicalReligiousFigure and hide from the FBI?

If you are interested in a position as Priestess, possibly even High Priestess,
of the Virgin Mary on Planet Earth, you are certainly welcome to apply. To
qualify as a Priestess of the Virgin Mary on Planet Earth, you must meet two
basic qualifications --

1. You must work for at least two years as a stripper at Cheetahs Topless Club,
or other ramashiva-approved titty bar, er, gentlemen's club. Titty bars are the
seminaries for all High Priestesses of the Virgin Mary on Planet Earth.

2. You must bend your knee and bow your head to Ramashiva, and acknowledge Him
as your Lord and Master on Planet Earth. This in no way affects your ultimate
allegiance to Jesus Christ and God the Father, since Ramashiva acknowledges
Jesus Christ as Lord and Master. I am sure you realize that the Virgin Mary is
Queen of Heaven and Mother of God. As such, She is the Boss of both God the
Father and her Son, Jesus Christ. Or didn't you know that God the Father is
pussy-whipped?

I'd guess it would be safe to say that those particular few questions
still aren't the borderline between knowledgeable and unknowledgeable
conserning poker theory, if on the other hand i'm wrong then you propably
can explain how your questions correlates with ones knowledge of poker
theory.

On the other hand i am kinda getting bored with you so don't bother
answering if you want a reply to it. I mean you're ok, but completely
useless for getting any knowledge of poker. At the age 16 i was able to
write the type of shit you post here every day, pretty words with no
context, no value to none but the writer.

One last bit for you to think,
paljonko on kaksi kertaa kolme?

If you do not know the answer to the question,
then it is safe to say that your knowledge of mathematics hasn't even
reached the level of a six year old.

If someone yelled at me, " Hey Mother@3(&er, what fu*&^%ing time is
it?" though I might know the answer, I would not reply.

I have read, saved, and re-read many articles written by Abdul, and I
appreciate his efforts.
