Default Re: Median Best Holdem Starting Hand

This isn't really true either, since the caller usually requires a significantly better than average hand to call, especially in tournaments where chips are so valuable. If your lone remaining opponent had a huge stack (or an infinite bankroll) and would call with nearly all hands, then you have a good point. However, this is hardly ever the case. If you are playing in tournaments this way, it means that you are stealing the blinds too little and calling steal raises too much, and this could explain why you're always short on chips.
