Understanding Nash Equilibrium
Mathematician John Nash developed a theory in the mid 20th century which many of the top players use when deciding how to play when the game inevitably becomes push or fold called Nash equilibrium.
PokerStars Team Pro Ivan Demidov discusses on a PokerStars blog titled Poker and the Nash equilibrium how many players misapply Nash equilibrium, failing to adjust for the fact that almost every player does not play optimally and adjusting the push and fold ranges of your opponents.
The blog details an example of how one should adjust hand ranges based on stack sizes and opponents' ranges.
