So what is it with this don't-slot-and-split thing? Is this just now-rejected folklore along with UTG, or is there some merit to the
saying that I'm not understanding?
Here, the bot play looked natural to me.
But I had a clear memory of reading "Don't slot and split"
and I have no memory of this adage being overturned.
I think it's Robertie who said that.
So I avoid the slot-and-split and played 11/10.
This was a rare error in an otherwise superb game where
I got a PR of 2.5. Furthermore, I felt like I knew what I was doing --
it's possible to choose the right plays by chance but that's not what happened here.
So what is it with this don't-slot-and-split thing? Is this just now-rejected folklore along with UTG, or is there some merit to the
