Plus one 0 Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 That is the dumbest example you ever could have come up with. If two people are all in with equal stacks, one of them is going to lose unless it is a split pot, thus it is -EV to the infinity power to call with AA.Horrible example. Why don't you sit this next one out, stop talking for a while. Bingo, could be split pot. So -ev it is not. However I will stop talking for awhile. Link to post Share on other sites

albasuna 0 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 im surprised they didn't do anything special for the million dollar match. I was at least hoping for some dramatization... maybe bring out at wheel barrel of fake bills or something. Not once did I feel that the heads up match was for the Grand Prize. * The million dollar dude was so sour after he lost... Link to post Share on other sites
JSpencer 0 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 \* The million dollar dude was so sour after he lost...He lost 200k and screwed up an opportunity for 800k more. Wouldn't you be sour? Link to post Share on other sites

I was at least hoping for some dramatization... maybe bring out at wheel barrel of fake bills or something. Not once did I feel that the heads up match was for the Grand Prize. * The million dollar dude was so sour after he lost...I thought he was rather composed. He said he was down, and seemed like he was, but if I had just lost a 200k buyin heads up match with 600k extra being thrown into the prize pool, and I only made 50k a year, I would have been much worse.

Balloon guy 158 Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Just cause something is +ev doesnt make it the right choice always.Please to be giving me an example of a play that is +ev but is not the "right choice" from a game theory point of view.You're playing poker with 4 hot famous actresses. The cutest one is getting picked on by the other 3 about how she is the worst poker player and could never bluff anyone.You have middle set on flop, you bet, she raises you call. Turn is blank, repeat action, river is a blank and you check, she bets and you say: "I think you have me here, I'm laying down a monster, but I think you are really strong here." You show and fold, she shows the bluff and looks at you with great gratitude as she taks another shot and says; "Want me to give you some private lessons?" Link to post Share on other sites

JSpencer 0 Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Personally I would have left with the 200k. Just too much money for me.Even with the 5 - 1 odds. Link to post Share on other sites

A_Bullets_A 0 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Everyone hates this show so much, LOL. I'm not a fan of it either, but it's not that terrible. As a poker show it really sucks, but I don't think that's even what it is. It's really just a game show. As a game show it's not that bad. Link to post Share on other sites
Potomophobia 17 Posted August 13, 2009 Author Share Posted August 13, 2009 Oh and the second you saw Gavin, you could have turned off the cameras.. not a single person with a pulse could ever think Gavin was going to lose 125BBs deep against that mouth-breather.How could you, knowing you sucked at poker turn down a free $200k to walk away?How could you, knowing you were *good* at poker, turn down a free $200k to walk away?Part of the reason I could never watch Deal or no Deal. I spent 4 years in college cracking-out on stats and game theory. I hate people without a even a marginal grasp of either.Yeah.... you were on crack then, and you're still on crack now. Quiz:What were the worst 4 years of Cappy37's life?Answer:Freshman year of college at On Line University of Bangalore. Link to post Share on other sites

Ok, in the spirit of previous responses, here goes Playing in a home game with a badass gangster, youve already taken most of his roll when this happens, He flops 4 aces, you river a straight flush, do you say nice hand and fold, or ruin his whole day.

Yoda 1 Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Finally got a chance to watch this...PAINFUL. Extremely painful to watch. I can't do it. Didn't even make it halfway through the first episode Link to post Share on other sites
JSpencer 0 Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 "Dead last place for the hour, trailing by far repeats of Finding Nemo and 48 Hours Mystery and a new episode of America’s Most Wanted which performed almost six times better than Face with adults 18-49."Finding Nemo WAS a great movie.
