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

Impossible? He could push every third hand and at the very least picks up the blinds 3 1/3 times per orbit...or someone calls him stupidly and he has the best hand.

LOL, virtually guaranteed profit isn't a big deal? 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.

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]
