Default Re: THE book (Theory of Poker)

This is why I HATE ESPN Shove all in poker and watch us deal the cards!

Player A goes all in with TT, Player B is the single caller with KK.

At that point they are DONE PLAYING poker. The dealer then puts the cards on the board. The results are meaingless to the play.

When a T falls on the river the idiot announcers chirp in with how Player B picked a tough spot, blah blah blah.

I know the second the action is over that player B will win the board crap 80% of the time, what is the thrill to seeing hte cards dealt on the board?

ESPN does not broadcast poker anymore, they simply broadcast cards being placed on the table.

Complete results oriented crap. ToP teaches you what good decisions and bad decisions are, and in the long run good decisions win out.
