I think what we have seen here, however, is a good example of something I have written about before called The Bike Shed Effect, whereby arguments often derail into pointless minutiae when some of the parties involved do not understand the nuances of a topic. I can’t imagine Negreanu’s opening ranges are going to mirror ones you would see on a GTO chart anyway. Negreanu rightly pointed out that he has allowed Polk the most advantages in their challenge (picking Polk’s known best format and perhaps Negreanu’s worst) and I do agree with him that if he thinks charts muddy the water, Polk should pick his battles and let KidPoker have this one. Daniel Negreanu was insisting that Doug Polk not use a starting hand chart when they play together. The real time assistance (RTA) debate was derailed a little last week when it morphed into a discussion on whether starting hand charts were a form of RTA. Could the small matter of starting hand charts derail Polk vs Negreanu?
