Re: How My Son\'s Insight May Have Saved Poker
the only defense that is not a game of skill would be in a heads up NL sit and go. perhaps o doyles turbo..lol ( 1 minutes blinds)
Joe 7-11 manager ( who doesn't know the rules to poker)
vs
the top pro
Joe stalls so the blinds go up every hand or 2 but
goes all in preflop no matter what evey hand.
at what point does the pro finally get a hand he wants to call with?? hand 3, 6?? since a pocket pair for the pro odds wise is 17-1 longshot ( and 2's and 3's would likely be coin flips) it's safe to say that when the pro calls he could very well only be 60% favorite. in some cases higher, some cases even an underdog.
the pro will win this hand more than not but he has donked off perhaps a few hundred in blinds if he didn't find a good hand early. so he still has to win another hand and can't afford to fold many before calling.
in this format Joe sit and Go (who thought they invited him to trade baseball cards) would win what %? it would depend on what cards the pro would be willing to take a stand with. my guess is Joe would win 40% or more??
