So that math will say you are giving up a small % of advantage by not playing, but if it extends longevity by twice as much, 3 times as much.NOT EVEN A CLOSE DECISION. But a player playing these will dramatically shorten their longevity and everyone knows it. I mean that is number 4 & 5 of the supposedly most important. But here is something interesting, none of the people I network with split 10's vs 5 or 6. (BTW, Schlesinger himself plays 200 index plays). Some play Ill 18, others play more like 40 or 50 and one plays 200. Here is an example: I network with 5 or 6 players somewhat regularly. Everybody should do with that info what they want. He simply showed by that math that the top 18 index plays will get about 90% of the advantage of a player that plays hundreds. He is not someone who pushes anything on anybody. It sure feels like you are attempting to smear the Illustrious 18 and by association Don Schlesinger., who is credited for Illustrious 18. Everybody make those kind of decisions based on their own circumstances.
Who told you that you have to play 18 index play? Nobody.
