Official WPT Foxwoods Gossip Thread
- TstoneMBD apparently running hotter than the sun
- Gavin Smith + Joe Sebok donked off thousands at 1-2 NL - Bobby Bellande Busto, Robusto, then Busto again in a 36 hour span, maybe because his best game (chinese poker) isn't in the foxwoods mix -BelowAbove took 2nd in the 2k NL event

Re: Official WPT Foxwoods Gossip Thread
random aside question: I thought in Chinese poker, you don't really have an edge if you are playing good players b/c there was a pretty set strategy. Am I wrong?

[/ QUOTE ] It's a fairly simple games, but every now and then a somewhat complicated hand can come up. Generally though, whoever makes the fewest mistakes has a very small edge. There are some meta game considerations, but generally they aren't that tough, and have a very miniscule effect on your EV.

ZJ,
"It's a fairly simple games, but every now and then a somewhat complicated hand can come up. Generally though, whoever makes the fewest mistakes has a very small edge. There are some meta game considerations, but generally they aren't that tough, and have a very miniscule effect on your EV." That sounds, uh, very expert and stuff.

Re: Official WPT Foxwoods Gossip Thread
Don Smolen wrote the program/book that plays each hand mathematically correct in straight Chinese Poker.
Memorize this and you've got an edge over most that play...including the pros I've heard.
