Re: X-Post Absolute Poker Hole Card Cheating

[ QUOTE ]
I have seen that hand history posted several places, but to me it raises a serious question: Why would someone who could see the cards call as only a 3-1 favorite? Admittedly it was the other player all in, but why not simply let the hand go and get them all in when a bigger favorite?

Lol?
With perfect information and a decent risk tolerance, you should be calling as a 51-49 favorite. (granted that doing that will probably expose you as a cheater, but still).

Not in a tournament. If you had perfect information(hole cards) you could basically win the tournament without ever being all in.
I have tried this out many times on some poker game I can't remember the name of.
I would play out like a 5000 person WSOP Main Event structure where I could see hole cards and would never lose, just basically playing small ball and then making sick overbets for value.
