Default Re: the old \"what if you knew everyone\'s hole cards\" argument

[ QUOTE ]
Do you think it would change if your opponents knew that you know what they were holding? I would say yes and significantly as they would try to put you all in even taking the worst of it pre-flop.

Sure. If I know you know my hole cards, I either fold or go all in. You still have a big advantage. You pick up most of the blinds, and only go all-in when you have a mathematical advantage. But since I'm only going in on very good hands, you're seldom going to have more than a 55% edge.

You will make money in the long run, but I have a reasonable chance to bust you if we start with equal stacks.
