Default Re: Helmuth - Ferguson Head Up Match Theory Question

i agree with your position on the snyder match.

example for people who don't think so.

person A has stack of 9 chips
person B has stack of 1 chip

blinds are 100/200

there is no skill. its a coin flip test no matter what. the contention that person A has higher than 90% winrate is wrong obviously.

[/ QUOTE ]

You're right that once the small blind exceeds the number of chips in play that all skill is removed.

But you're wrong about the probability of the large stack winning. With 90% of the chips he will win the tournament *exactly* 90% of the time.

Prop bet?
