Why is everyone even arguing about this? If you finish in the money every week in your $100 buy-in tourney.. well then ummmmm great. So, why not buy into a $1000 MTT just to test it out? I mean after all, it will only take you 1-2 weeks to get it all back at your home game so there is really no risk! Actually, why don't you just tell your home game players to post your entry and then promise them you will not play for 2 weeks [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

BTW, do the other people care that you have taken about $50K of their money in the last 2 years? Tell us where you game is so we can all get involved! It would even be worth the plane ticket cost if you were close enough.. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

Of course I would be skeptical. Different situation with the home game though pard. If you take a look at the differences you will see there is far more than probability and luck involved in winning tourneys. FWIW our home tourney blind structures are such that it favors the skilled players. Also, I have maybe 1 other "skilled" player in my home game. I HAVE finished ITM 100% in this game. I care NOT to prove it to YOU or anybody else. Call me a liar I don't give a sh1t. It IS possible. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

This is all actually very possible.

Start with 1000 chips.

No Small blind.

BB is 1 chip.

No blind raising, no betting until river.

The 2 times he was unfortunate enough to get knocked out, he misread the board and he thought he had the nuts.

Seems simple enough.

YOU ARE A LIAR!!!!! ITS PROBILITY, SIMPLE MATH GOD!!!!!! EVEN if everyone started with 500 bb and 4 hour blinds, ITS STILL ALMOST A COMPLETE IMPOSSIBLILITY. You can't always get your chips in where an oppenent is drawing dead, so you have to take situations like 80/20 (which is also very unlikely, much more likely are 3to2 situations, maybe worse. NO MATERR HOW GOOD YOU PLAY, THERE IS LUCK IN POKER, NO MATTER THE BLIND STRUCTURE THERE IS LUCK IN POKER. Do the math man!
