Default Re: Poker Theory Question

I assumed both players started with the same size stack. So you can call on the first hand and win (or lose) the tournament immediately; or else resign yourself to having to win at least two hands to win the tournament. In the second case, it doesn't matter when your two hands occur, unless they happen so late that you start needing three winning hands to win.

For example, if you had a 60% shot on the first hand, but thought you could wait and get two 80% chances, you would fold because that gives you a 64% chance of winning.
