Re: Follow up to Doyles bid for the wpt

Consider faking a tell
It is possible that Gordon has a tell, but having tells isnt as bad as it sounds, if you know about it. For example, a guy posts below that he shakes a bit when he has a monster. I have seen this...

All insurance is -EV, + utility
Look, any insurance is negative EV. It is a zero sum game. How on earth would an insurance company make money if they were giving you +ev? All insurance is +utility, otherwise you simply would not...

This is just plain dumb
How on earth did you calculate that you will see every combination in every position in 100's of hours play? I hope by 100's , you meant billions of 100's. You will not see every combination of...

Re: The math is NOT easy
No problem, so what you are talking about is estimation, based on logic. It is not mathematically correct though. You may think that being about right is fine, and without ever going through the...

The math is NOT easy
I am always alarmed when people say poker math is easy. It isn't. Yes, it is multiplication, division, addition and subtraction. The thing is, if you use a tree structure to model the possible hands,...

Re: Where Is This Player\'s Money Going?
To say that decisions are less meaningful when the pot is small is just flat out wrong. You need to understand that I am talking about a good player playing against bad (or less good) players. How...

Re: Where Is This Player\'s Money Going?
But you are kind of missing the point. Preflop advantages are small most of the time. On the flop one is much more likely to be a larger favourite/underdog than preflop. You talk about giving people...

Re: Where Is This Player\'s Money Going?
Lets start with heads up. What you said is not a reason for why limping would be wrong. If you want to show that someone is wrong, you need some kind of proof. Just saying that 'have you read the...

Re: Where Is This Player\'s Money Going?
As I said, without real evidence. But I am still sure that I am correct and that limping preflop always may be a good way to play. I will try to come up with something more concrete to prove it in...

Without any evidence whatsoever, I dont think he is losing money, especially if he is playing at the mid-low limits. My thinking is this. If you never raise preflop you are keeping the pot smaller....
