Never seen levels of sophistication in MMOS
The point is I have never seen these levels of sophistication in MMOS. I have always seen MMOs to be a more static, odds-based game of strategy. Yes there are dice-rolls and a level of "Expected-Value" in that you did the math and you lost because of an extreme variable. However, I've never seen the levels of sophistication and need for constant adaptation in strategy / game theory of poker in MMOs. I like games, I like MMOs, and I like poker. I would never claim to be a great poker player or understand all the ins and outs. I like MMO strategy and trying to execute the most efficient strats. I simply like them for DIFFERENT reasons and don't see the parallels you attempted to draw. P.S. If I missed a key point in your argument, I apologize.
