Fun Little Situation
Alright let's say that there is a person that starts playing poker one day to find that every three hands he is given pocket aces. He continues this amazing run of hands for about a year until he finally finds himself at the WSOP. With hole cams and TV lights on him the whole world finally sees how lucky this guy is.
Alright I can already feel the wrath of those who want to say that it is impossible and with that I counter with the odds of our existence. Let us put that aside however and theorize just what this would do to poker. |

Re: Fun Little Situation
No one in their right mind would play with him and poker would be just like it is now...or, if its a regular pattern, then its easy to know when he has aces

Re: Fun Little Situation
Like you said, cashgame, he would get no opponents. Tournaments they have to play him and we deal with that situation.
I think this might be better, instead of winning the blinds 1/3 of the time and an occassional double-up or getting broke it would be more optimal to steal the blinds say half or 2/3 of the time. That way people have to play with him. Of course he cannot go all-in all the time then, just play ordinary poker and he will do just fine. |

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

Re: Fun Little Situation
This is a dumb debate, but so he would win free blinds every 3rd hand....big deal :P

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. |
