Feel like a dummy..but what is leveling?

[/ QUOTE ]

Leveling is where you say something stupid and other people who are as smart as you realize you are being stupid on purpose and you all have a good laugh at the stupid people who dont know you are smart and think you really are stupid.

Now it starts to get complicated when you say something smart to someone who was saying something stupid on purpose. This is called being on a higher level. Now the person who was saying something stupid on purpose if he is as smart as you realizes what you are doing and then he can say something stupid back to you on purpose, or he can also say something smart back to you on purpose. Just like in poker its important to know your opponent and just what level he is capable of thinking on. However all the people who previously knew you were originally leveling now have to be on the same level to know which level you are releving on so its also important to know your target audience, because the only reason anyone says anything stupid is to look smart in front of other people, so you dont want to outsmart everyone and have them think you are stupid, otherwise whats the point?

This post is also a good example of leveling. Do I think you were leveling me asking about leveling, in which case is my reply to you a level or am I just not on your level? And if I am on a higher level are you smart enough to realize that and then just claim that your original statement actually was a level in order to make it seem like im dumb, or are you claiming it was a level because you are releveling my relevel? Or are you just failing at releveling my rerelevel?

So in short, leveling is like a staring contest at the special olympics only everyone is wearing face masks so you cant tell who is drooling and who isnt.

OK then, at what odds do you take this bet. Ivey to win ME at 500-1? 1000-1? 4000-1?

[/ QUOTE ]

I believe that they have been posted at 150-1 somewhere on the internet.

[/ QUOTE ]

Assuming 8000 people play, this is saying Ivey has over $500,000 equity in the tournament: ROI = 5000%?!?!! No one is that good.

[/ QUOTE ]

It means he wins as much as 50 average players together. I think that he does that.

There is no one on the planet with a sustainable, long-term ROI of 5000%.

Alobar, if you can expand that explanation into a few pages, I really think you have a lock on having it accepted for Super System 3's chapter on levelling.
