It seemed that most of the people at my table played there a lot and my friend and I almost felt at a disadvantage because a lot of the players seemed to know each other. At one point during the break I asked him how he thinks Doyle Brunson or Phil Helmuth would do if they were in this tournament? Assuming the cards ran normal, not hot, or cold, and that they were playing everyone they saw for the 1st time, and lastly that nobody was intimidated by them. Are they really a much bigger favorite in a situation like that than I am or anyone else on this board for this matter?
I tend to think that a lot of their edge comes from seeing a lot of the same people again and again and the intimidation factor they bring to a table. In this situation, their only edge would be making the correct decisions based on the cards and what they could gather by playing just a few hands against their opponents. They would still be a huge favorite against a lot of the idiots that play in these things, but so am I. Are they that much bigger of a favorite against players like you or me here?Statistics: Posted by MTPaid — Tue Mar 07, 2006 8:08 pm
