Message: [QUOTE="Rational Madman, post: 3931565, member: 227817"] In a marathon, the degree of known criteria (lactic acid building in the muscles, oxygen intake, hydration, diet etc) are all scientifica/mathematical informed things. the 'cards the deck has' which is the 0% informed part is probably only how strong your opponent's legs are and the semi-informed 'what is my opponent currently holding?' aspect is probably how windy it will be or how uneven the path you run will be and if your turns will involve having to jostle with an over-taker. The degree of known is far more than with poker so unlike poker in a marathon your victory is far more down to you than a poker tournament where showdowns involve unknown aspects and can render all your effort to that point futile if you don't make ITM.
