Default Re: New Heights for Poker

Yeah, the fact that both players don't play the same way (nevermind about who's "better" than the other) is a problem.

The better way to do this might have been to have Phil Laak play all the hands, then reverse the hands and randomize it and have them play it again. Also randomize the order of cards on the flop (like say one time the flop comes 5s6d3d next time have it come out 3d6d5d or something like that, so that Laak has less chance of remembering ghands).

this would certainly effect his play waaaaay too much.

think if you were in his shoes. every time a flop comes, you would be thinking of the odds of a particular card coming up, not of the traditional odds.

if you got dealt JJ an unusual number of times, you would be way more inclined to put your opponent on JJ after being threebet. it would be totally worthless.
