Re: Doyle Brunson making mistakes here?
My recollection is that Doyle lost four all-in's in a row, with good hands each time. Sklansky had, I think, AQo, A5o, AQs for the first three. That's quite a run of luck in the circumstances. The last all-in call, when things were about even, was on T9o to Brunson's K2o, but Sklansky pulled out this 45% shot.
In general, I agree with you. Going all-in every time only makes sense when the antes and blinds get huge. It's true that you'll rarely lose this way if you have a big chip lead, but you'll lose even less rarely if you pick your calls. The other reason someone might do this is to get the tournament over quickly.
