QuietConfidence 0 Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Who else is going to play this? It looks like it's gonna take forever to finish with a cap of 2048 players and 15 minute rounds.You'll have to win 12 rounds to take 1st place (around $60k).I'm excited as HU NLHE is my favorite.

kkcountry 0 Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 2048 players means 2047 matches, right? What are the odds that one of them starts off with AA vs KK? Link to post Share on other sites
QuietConfidence 0 Posted September 19, 2006 Author Share Posted September 19, 2006 2048 players means 2047 matches, right? What are the odds that one of them starts off with AA vs KK?No, 2048 means 1024 1st round matches.This thing could last more than 20 hours. I guess $60k is worth it. Link to post Share on other sites

KappaKid83 0 Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 I might play this, or the Limit Hold Em Event, not sure yet. If it gets capped it may take forever but thats ok.Jeff Link to post Share on other sites
troyomac 0 Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 I'm definately playing this. Trying one $35 qualifier, and if I lose, I'll buy in. Link to post Share on other sites
kkcountry 0 Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Somebody doublecheck my math please -According to the wizard of odds, if you hold KK vs one player, he will have AA .49 times out of 100 (http://wizardofodds.com/askthewizard/holdem-probabilities-pairs.html) So if there are 2047 matches, and each one has a .0049/1 chance of starting off AA vs KK, the odds of at least one match starting out AA vs KK are ((.49*2047)/100) = 10/1 in favor of it happening, right? Or am I wayyyyy off? Link to post Share on other sites

kkcountry 0 Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 ok, i think this is right?yet again from the wizard of odds, the chances of someone having AA is 6/1236 and the odds of someone having KK is 6/1225. So, ((6/1225)*(6/1236))*2047= .0454 or about a 1 in 22 chance of it happening? Link to post Share on other sites
