Re: 78% rule?
[ QUOTE ]
What is it? I searched and found many refrences to it, but not the description. It appears to have been coined by William and I suspect it's a joke, but inquiring minds want to know. [/ QUOTE ] In pre-flop all-in situations the "dog" hand will win 78% of the time. It was meant as a semi-joke, but its origin comes from a small sample research I made at PokerStars (also called RiverStars). I guess, I was unlucky enough to research during a string of bad luck. Used wisely, a powerful weapon at the tables [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] William

Re: 78% rule?
I found that all in preflop often results in being proud of betting with the best hand, but losing to the inferior hand. Refering to the 78% rule ...is it a powerful tool meaning that it is best to avoid all - in preflop if possible?

Well, that really depends on the site you play at. I am not saying some are rigged, but they do use different card shuffler softwares and in my (humble) opinion, some are better than others. William [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Re: 78% rule?
Come on William you are talking crazy. Although I have to say a part of me feels the same way, I just ignore that part of me.

Re: 78% rule?
And I thought it was just me. Sometimes it feels more like 87% of the time your destined to lose with a premium hand to garbage. Here's a thought, if this theory is correct wouldn't it make more sense to get all your chips in the middle when you have a dog hand?
