Default Re: What old one ?

Thanks Irchans, great reply and great work, I will now be able to look for some kind of "counter" to this, and hopefully won't find one [img]/forums/images/icons/laugh.gif[/img]

61% is around what I had guessed (65%) and shows that the all-in strategy is a pretty strong one.

Just out of interest, was it a computer sim, or did you use some formula to devise how to do it?

If there are no blinds and each player has a finite stack size, then the strategy of calling with AA only maximizes the probability that you take all of the other guy's money. This is true in spite of the fact that you have less expectation per hand.

Hence the reason that tourney players and ring players are very different animals.
