Re: sam farha vs. (unknown) day1 wsop
Bad call, because even if you make all his assumptions, it's 0EV. You could understand what he was thinking, but the odds weren't quite there.
It's not just the 7.5:1 to flop a set. There's the chance that the opponent won't put his whole stack on the line (don't say it's 0%!), and more importantly, the chance that Sammy flops a set AND an ace or a king comes on the flop. These flops definitely do not have an EV of +10000 for him. |

Re: sam farha vs. (unknown) day1 wsop
Sammy invested 1000 to have around a 5% chance of getting 14000. Its important to gain chips early in a tournament situation, since the stakes are always rising. I would say Sammy was correct, no matter the result.
Also because of this Sammy was one of the chip leaders after Day 1. I would assume he was able to gamble for more chips without the possibility of going broke. Plus its a lot more fun to play hands when you have a lot of chips, for Sammy 10k is nothin! He's not going to sit there and fold when he's shortstacked |
