Fun Little Situation
Alright let's say that there is a person that starts playing poker one day to find that every three hands he is given pocket aces. He continues this amazing run of hands for about a year until he finally finds himself at the WSOP. With hole cams and TV lights on him the whole world finally sees how lucky this guy is.
Alright I can already feel the wrath of those who want to say that it is impossible and with that I counter with the odds of our existence. Let us put that aside however and theorize just what this would do to poker. |

Re: Fun Little Situation
No one in their right mind would play with him and poker would be just like it is now...or, if its a regular pattern, then its easy to know when he has aces

Re: Fun Little Situation
He would lose his shirt. How much easier would it be to play against someone with such a limited hand range?

Re: Fun Little Situation
This is a dumb debate, but so he would win free blinds every 3rd hand....big deal :P

If I knew I would pick up the blinds 3 1/3 times per orbit or have a huge favorite to double up...I'd find the biggest game(s) I could and quit my day job. |

Re: Fun Little Situation
But winning the blinds once in 3 hands isn't that big of an advantage in a tournament.
He's still just as likely to go broke with his other hands, and 1/3 of the time he will not get any action. It'd only be useful in a high stakes cash game...where the blinds are worth like 40 bucks haha, but then you can't get anyone to play with you at a cash game, making the whole thing moot [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] |
