Nice responses. I thought maybe some intellegent discussion could come from this thread. I was wrong.

You should try posting in small stakes short handed. The type of discussion you're looking for is too basic for this forum.

the statement makes no sense, it's the complete oppositte of an equlibrium, and therefore, should never happen

I don't think any good discussion could come from it at all as it is false

Edit: so, the statement, "if play increased to expert level for all players (each player was playing with perfect information i guess) then everyone would break even" would be the true one.

But that is not possible as well

If you want intelligent discussion maybe you could expand on it because I don't get the point of this at all. To me "If play deteriorates to the point where everyone stays in with anything all the way to the end then everyone will break even" is in the same camp as "I might as well not raise AK preflop because it is a drawing hand" - not exactly MHSH stuff.

the statement needs some assumptions, but i assume it is that:

you have to stay in till the end.

---

it is obvious that it will depend on how often each street is capped. if you have a few players who are always capping every street then every hand has the same pot size and so it will be breakeven (assuming no rake).

however if this is not the case, and pot size varies, if you are a good player you will be aggressive on your good hands and passive on your bad hands and this will have, albeit a very small, an effect.


hence you can win, but under the conditions above.
