I completely agree. We want to conceal the fact that we are knowledgeable players for as long as possible.

In addition, it is not in our best interest to educate the masses. If everyone played perfect basic strategy, table holds would plummet and the casinos would implement more unfavorable rules or do away with the game entirely.

Besides, anyone who sits down at at table and buys in without even knowing basic stategy deserves whatever happens to them.
