Default Re: Theoretical situation.. first hand of the WSOP main event

this is an instant call. people like phil hellmuth who talk about folding AA preflop are retarded if theyre serious.

even if your ROI in a tournament is 100% of your buyin then the call is correct.

notice that if you always got your money in preflop as an 85% favorite that your ROI is WAYYYYY over 100%. 85% of the time you double up the other 15% of the time you go broke. the times you double up you continue to play good poker and get your money in as an 85% favorite again

think of it like compounding interest. if you have a ROI of 15% at compounding interest your ROI is far far larger than 15% without regards to time.

I don't believe Hellmuth has ever talked about folding AA preflop.

Why are so many of you taking RacingSilver seriously?

I admit that I did not envisage that type of situation where the SB thinks he's God and the BB actually is God. However I think I have an easy solution. As both players know that the other has AA, then Ivey will say
"Oh one who thinks he's God, I am telling you that I will go all-in regardless of your action. And as I am God, you know that I am not lying".
Hellmuth will reply "Ivey, you're lying right now as there can only be one true God, and we both know who that is."
"Shut up you gobshite" says Ivey and pushes all-in out of turn.
Hellmuth folds.
Ivey is King.

How can people possibly be arguing with RacingSilver about this? He is obviously kidding.
