Redo Button

[JohnnyFondue]

Ok. This will be tough for me to explain, but see if you can follow. It's hypothetical, so bear with me. Say you have a "redo button" where you could go back any length of time and undo all actions in the time period in which you are redoing. Example: Go all in with pocket kings, run into pocket aces, and get knocked out of my tournament. I set the redo button to right before I pushed in with KK, and just fold them, lasting longer in the tourament with my new found 20/20 hindsight.

Say this button had unlimited maximum uses, and you could redo any length of time period as many times as you wanted. Say your BB got raised and you read your opponent for weakness so you reraise all in. If he folds, you can carry on, if he calls and you lose you can redo the hand and just fold.

Having this situation set up, could you win any tournament from any starting seat using perfect 'redo button strategy'? Every tournament is won by someone and they don't have a redo button. If you did this for an extended period of time, I imagine you might become a terribly results oriented poker player. If you stayed smart and observant you could probably learn a lot.

So, is any starting seat in any tournament winnable using a redo button? Is any seat in any tournament only a guaranteed possible win if using the button? I know that many starting seats are just destined to lose, even if perfect poker is put into practice. But does everyone have a fair shot, skill aside?
