Date: January 23rd, 2026 12:26 PM Author: Nazca Redlines Hypothetically, a top poker pro plays in a $1-$3 NLHE game in Vegas. He can buy in for any amount he wants.
He will always lose any show down. He knows that going in.
Would you expect him to win money? |
Date: January 23rd, 2026 12:38 PM Author: Kenneth Play (emotional girth) i think he'd still win money. he'd have to change tables pretty quick, because i think people would catch on to "always has bad cards on a show down."

Date: January 23rd, 2026 12:43 PM Author: Nazca Redlines Do people at 1-3 tables think that critically? What would his strategy be? Bluff big then fold to any re-raises? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5825495&forum_id=2Elisa#49611859) |

Date: January 23rd, 2026 4:52 PM Author: Kenneth Play (emotional girth) he'd have to be buying in at the max and winning via bluffs, bc per you hypo he never has the cards. maybe he could meaningfully reraise if they let you buy in deep or whatever. but that's quite a handicap you put on (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5825495&forum_id=2Elisa#49612773) |

Date: January 23rd, 2026 5:03 PM Author: ,..,,,,,,....,,,..., Something like 30% of hands go to showdown in normal play. Random table is probably more loose. You are going to get a lot of bluffs called and people can’t resist results-oriented thinking so you will get called more after you lose showdowns. Most of your edge as a pro is people calling when behind or bluffing into your strong hands. If your cards are always terrible I don’t think you can force random noobs into folding good hands by force of will. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5825495&forum_id=2Elisa#49612813) |
