Default Re: Poker Tournament Formula Revisited

okay, lets say that player a has more chips than player b, is a better player and bathes on a regular basis whereas player b is a shortstacked donkey with BO. Player B might still win because Donkaments are all luck in the short term.

Only if Player A has the emotional stability to endure mindless beat after mindless beat without losing his mind over a significant number of Donkaments does his edge begin to show.

I like the coin tossing scenarios beause they reflect the huge amount of luck involved in Donkaments.

Before the flame war starts, yes, good players have an edge in Donkaments yes, Donkaments are fun/exciting to play but, if you can't handle massive suckouts, stay away from Donkament play.
