This logic works for awhile…
But your edge over the opponents is clearly lower (especially at games not called NLTH).
Also, the ceiling looms. The ceiling is not about the limit in knowledge, but in the simple fact that as the games evolve, the raw intelligence needed to grok the expanded theory will, sooner or later, make it impossible for most of us to keep ahead of the wave of folks who are smart enough to study (be spoon fed) strategies that were, say 15 years ago. at the leading edge of known theory.
This is why I believe we will continue to see more and more PLO, mixed games etc. Sure, a game like badugi is probably NOT on a par with NLTH, but it IS! new and not well understood.
While a few misguided poker players just want to be the very best, the rest of us rubes simply want to find games where people spew. The new games have that potential. Sadly, it can sometimes be hard to get recreational players to play new games. So while a game like 8-16 mixed "should" be a printing press, it might just wind up being a bad game, at least in Vegas.

I have played tournaments exclusively in casinos, and even in my home game, but recently switched the home game format to cash and boy is everyone having a better time playing for cash! Now I just need to play majority cash games in the casino as per your advice. Personally I think your ratio is spot on and I am really looking forward to going majority cash.
