Default Re: Can This Be Right?

I don't think a 50% river-fold percentage is inherently bad. And I'd say the same about many other stats that seem extreme. Everything depends on everything.

Here's something along the same lines, something I've felt for a couple years now: I think I can win at limit hold'em without ever raising on the turn.

The conditions would be:

1) No rake or tips (or else the amount of the rake and tips is added back to my score).

2) I have total control over game selection, seat selection, and quitting.

3) As to duration, I guess a few thousands hours would be enough to determine if the feat was accomplished.

4) The penalty for failure would have to be death by torture.

I just realized how much fun unfalsifyable claims are! I can see why they are so popular.
