It is not at all accurate to think that a player
using a less than optimal strategy is playing a less than
100% game. In fact for different goals there will be different
"optimal" strategies. For instance if it is the player's desire
to extract the most total dollars from his play, then he
should use the strategy that minimizes the cost of hitting
the RF. This min. cost strategy will be constant regardless
of the RF progressive amount and will differ from the strategy
that yields the maximum EV per hand (except at exactly the
break even point for the RF). So until the goal of the play
is defined the terms "optimal strategy" and "absolute expert
strategy" are ill defined.
For more detailed information on alternative strategies
(i.e. differing from the usual max EV strategy) search for
posts from Steve Jacobs.
G'luck all,
