Re: Thought Experiment: Playing vs. a mind reader

Let's play pretend. What if someone could change their cards, decide what board cards are going to come, change your cards and also Jedi mind-trick you into going all in at any point. How would we play against this villain?

What if the sky was purple?
What if we are all actually in the matrix?
What if pigs could fly?

Snap lock thread.

I spent a few minutes thinking about your question and believe this to the most sound strategy.

Re: Thought Experiment: Playing vs. a mind reader

As hypothetical as this question is, I think it proves that there's no one out there with this ability, if there was they would be an impossible player to beat long-term. There are no poker players like this, not Phil Ivey, not anyone.

I have a hard time imagining something more profitable for a mind-reader to do than to play poker, they would be at the upper echelon of poker playing and surpass every big pro playing it in no time.
