Collusive Entanglement

[Zeno]

A thought experiment for a three-handed hold’em game:

X, Y, and Z have equal stacks, limit game.

You are Z.

Give X & Y various degrees of skill level and playing style (graded say between 1 (novice) through 10 (expert)).

At what degree of skill level would you start looking at your cards in order to beat the game?

At what level are you, Mr. Z, guaranteed a wining strategy?


Now progressively add players A, B, and C with the same various degrees of skill and style. At what opponent skill level do you start looking at your cards in order to beat the game?

Does the above thought experiment seem silly?
