Message: [QUOTE="RogueRivered, post: 2980017, member: 45593"] Just wanted to point out a bit of math at the beginning of this thread from the OP. He said someone with a stack of 100 would need to win 4 flips in a row to beat someone with 600. That's ridiculous. It would actually take far less than 3, if it were possible to have a fraction (but it is if you play poker and don't go all-in every time). Simple: 600 100 Starting stacks 500 200 One flip done 300 400 Two flips done -- Already behind after 2 flips. 000 700 Three flips done Flipping a coin and getting heads or tails 3 times in a row is a very likely event. There is no way the OP is putting in enough hands at his home games to be able to say anything about luck or lack thereof. And, hey, if he folds KK every time he sees an A on the flop, no wonder he loses with it so much! I think he also has no idea how to calculate odds with respect to dead money. Why did I get myself involved? [/QUOTE]
