Which came first?

Something I was thinking about on the way home from the bar.

Scenario:

You are in the middle of a cold streak. Halfway through a session in which you are losing, your clone who is running incredibly good takes over for you. What happens?

He wins at your win rate.

He is dealt the same cards you would have been dealt.

Do you always get very philosophical after drinking? Haha. But I don't really get the title of your post "which came first?" In regard to your question I would say that your clone would proceed to win at a BB rate of your typical winning rate + rate you had been losing money at to get you back up to an average night.

Explain your reasoning, please.

I think there's a chance the clone would do better. The clone wouldn't have the memory (unless he was watching from the rail) of the bad cards. He would come in fresh.

Yes, the cards dealt would stay the same, the players would stay the same, and the table image of the clone would erroneously saty the same.

The clone wouldn't be afraid to exploit edges and bet appropriate pot odds.

Your clone cashes out all your accounts and skips off to the Caribbean to relax and sip margaritas on a nude beach while bilking tourists in a nightly 5/10.

Your clone gets a random set of cards just like you would.

The only advantage the clone would have is if you were on tilt from your bad run and he was in the zone from his good run.

Everyone who has responded to this thread is retarded. What happens is your clone will run good but next time you play your cold streak will grow to incorporate the winnings of the clone, as well as what it would have led you to before. The only way to negate this is to play on your clone's account, which is actually allowed according to Party's T&C.
