Call me a skeptic

[mm707]

I've been playing vc poker STT's ( I think this is a tribecca site ) for a while and I started to wonder about the number of times - when an all-in is called - that the player who has no chips left following the call loses. example : QQ goes all in with 1000 gets called by TJ but this player still has 1000 left and - as luck would have it - the TJ gets something and wins. :wall I know bad beats happen all the time so I started making a note of the results etc. I used a notebook ( nerd ! ) and started logging who was the winner in these situations. I only noted the result when the cards not yet drawn could make the difference either way. What I found was that out of 1056 two-people all ins the persons who still had chips won 684 of these compared to 372 with no chips. I logged the results about 100 to a page and not one page were the results in favour of the person with no chips. To be honest I'm doing ok so it's not sour grapes but it does make you wonder sometimes :)

Re: Call me a skeptic Sounds entirely reasonable to me - the short stacks are more desperate and more likely to play with worse cards
