Default Re: Don Cheadle beats Phil Ivey, LOL

Simple variance. Eagles said it well, if you come to a poker forum, you ought to udnerstand it. They wouldn't play the matches if it was pre-decided that someone HAD TO win based on superior skills.

With the blind levels at what they are, anyone can compete in this tournament. Variance with this structure will cause someone like Cheadle to be able to win a decent number out of 100 trials versus ANYONE. If you don't like randoms winning/placing in big events, have professional-only tournaments.
