Message: [QUOTE="Macaroon, post: 2265538, member: 94849"] Most of you do not seem to understand that it was an excercise - an experiment. No-one, least of all Annette Obrestad is (or was) suggesting that you will play better by not looking at your cards. It was done to demonstrate that there are times when the cards you have are not the most important element of your play. Everyone knows that when you are short-stacked an all-in with 2 3 offsuit can sometimes win the hand - provided you are first to bet and the hands still to play are not a) big-stacked so they can afford to lose a few chips or b) short-stacked so they have nothing to lose by calling. I seem to remember that this took place at least six or seven years ago, when Annette was still not old enough to play live in the USA. And I do not remember any mention of HUDs being used - they were not used then anything like as much as they are now (though not by me as I would not be able to set one up I am sure!) [/QUOTE]
