Re: What if you knew everyone\'s hole cards?
Like many others have stated, and especially in tournaments with slowly escalating blinds, your advantage would be simply astounding...
After the first few levels of sniping pots you would without a doubt be a significant chipleader going into the later rounds. From there on out you would be able to "gamble" with way the best of it. Additionally your chip lead would allow you to steamroll the smaller stacks and avoid the big stacks. Why do people think that suckouts will hurt you significantly? They wont if you only play all ins against people you can take a hit from. Why tangle with big stacks at any point until the end. By the time you get down to the final three you would probably have a big enough chip lead to survive at least 3 all in situations against 2nd in chips. You could of course get incredibly unlucky at the final table, or heads up, but I can imagine winning 8/10 tournaments... 1st place... finishing in the top four in the other two. That's just a wild guess but i believe most people are way underestimating the power this would give you.
