Stars 5.50 9 person tourney

after two 3-person all-ins preflop in a row flipping over horrendous cards I say in chat "man, you guys will call in anything"
Response: "I had suited connectors, I'd wouldn't call that going all in with anything" (note: he flipped over K-10s)
me: "you know A2o is a favorite over K10s"
him: "No it's not, K10s is like a 15% favorite over A2"

I really hope this guy was joking, but there is definitely a gigantic note next to his name.

Why on earth would you want him to know he's wrong?

To echo Irie on this, it is really not a very good or smart thing to make such remarks at a table, even if it's a $5.5 SNG. You want to encourage people to make such moves, not to educate them about their wrong "concepts" of the game. So you better either make some meaningless, stupid remark if you feel like saying something (I like "WOW!!! NH!!!"), or just say nothing. I think we will all appriciate it much more.

Sorry for blowing everyones spot...i'll stop trying to educate fish.

Fish that are that dumb arn't looking to take advice from other people.

Yeah he was way off. K 10 suited is only a 10% favorite over A 2. Its a 9% favorite against A3, 8% against A4.... and so on. That guys an idiot!

[PrayingMantis]

I believe you are wrong (but maybe you were joking?...).

i know of a poker player called even money bob

he apparently called a turn push in a tourney one day with an 8 card straight buy - it hit - his opponent got cross and asked him what odds he thought he was getting to call the push ? - bob said "even money - either it hits or it doesnt"

A2o should win about 55% of the time vs. KTs
