Re: What if you knew everyone\'s hole cards? (continued)

3) Unexpected things happen. Sometimes you will "see" someone try to steal with J8, you will reraise with 96 because "he can't call," he'll call anyway, hit the flop and you'll have to fold. Granted, these things will happen a minority of the time, but in some tournaments it will be a big enough minority to be relevant.

I think you would be deadly in this situation from the BB. Asuming the original raiser in the only one in the hand, you could just push all-in everytime your opponent had a bad hand in a steal situation. This would take away the chance of your opponent calling with their J-8 and hitting a flop. Of course you always run the small risk of someone calling with garbage, but that is very unlikely. Consistently pushing from the BB against weak/marginal hand(s) would allow you to accumulate the chips necessary to dominate knowing the hole cards.
