Re: How My Son\'s Insight May Have Saved Poker
now we are thinking. addictontilt, this angle is even better than my theory on how to save poker.
theres a reason why we dont all play 5-10 NL and it's not because all of us don't have the bankroll. it's because the average millionare will get eaten up 10 times worse than he would at a blackjack table. especially if short-handed poker.
1 sport i can think of that seems to be based on chance is baseball. the very best hitter gets a hit roughly only 10% of the time more than the guy that is about to get cut.
the market dictates what the players are worth and some teams have salaries 10 times of others but yet this only adds up to 95-100 wins ( and that's not a given) that's = to 9-7 in the nfl. or 46 wins in the NBA.
you could take a double A team (the royals kinda are) and they will enjoy more succuss in that league than a group of average poker players playing against just some descent 5-10 NL players.
this debate on poker can't be compared to sports but to say it's a game more of chance is insane.
