I'd give the glasses to Phil Ivey and play him heads-up. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I think it would be pretty close. It depends on a lot of things, including what game you are playing. In no limit, I would liek to think that I would be able ot play my opponent off there bluffs often enough to make a profit. In limit, I would like to think the same thing but I do not think it would work. I think you get caught bluffing often enough with 23 in limit that peeps start to call you down with almost anything.

if you played in the main event 1000 times, what would your average finish be? how often would you finish less than 2nd?

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm gonna give my SWAG: I'm guessing your glasses give you a 50x advantage over any player. (This is probably way off.) So, with ~5000 players, you have 1/100th chance of finishing 2nd, 3rd, 4th ... Average finish = 50th place. You finish less than 2nd 99% of the time.

IT would depend entirely on game selection and how you read people.

Since you have the nut low you cannot win a showdown. You must win by getting everyone else in the hand to fold.

You would know the exact strength of people's hands and thus you would not try to push them off of strong hands.

The key would be pegging who you could make lay down marignal hands in bigger pots heads up.
