a friend of mine asked me this question:

First hand of the WSOP main event. You are the Big Blind and someone announces before the hand that they will play the hand blind. You watch and sure enough they shove all in blind first hand of the main event. What do you need to look down and have to make the call?

i know this is not the place for strat, but if anyone knows of any links that discuss this i'd be most grateful.

edit: assume you are a recreational player and it is a once in a lifetime opportunity to play in the main event.

If I'm a recreational player. I probably hem and haw with Kings but finally make the call. Probably talk myself into folding QQ and AK

I don't think this qualifies as strat Dave I'd say QQ+ maybe AK sooooted. They actually discussed this in hs mtt not along ago (minus the you are a n00b with 1 shot part), was kinda neato.

Sorry I caused the politics derail, should've thought that out before I bosted =p

you da man jurass

Answer depends in how many 40+ guys are at my table.
03-01-2012 , 08:49 PM
Its kinda hard to assume you dont know what you know.
03-01-2012 , 08:50 PM
Of course they do, but I'm supposed to be some dude not me. JJ/AK are more similar, but I feel most randoms would pick AK over TT there even though it's like got 7-8% more lol
03-01-2012 , 08:53 PM
yeah i edited cause i assumed thats where u were coming from.

10k is a lot to me but id prob call 88+ AT+

I think itd vary depending on the player. Some would prob fold KK, a few maybe aa. Some might call with 2s

wow i guess id need 66 before ATo. I need to study up in case this happens.

JJ+/AK because LETS GAMBOOOOOOL

(i'd call wider than that irl)
03-01-2012 , 09:04 PM
Summat like 55+, A2s+, A2o+, K2s+, K4o+, Q5s+, Q8o+, J7s+, J9o+,T9+, T8s+

If donking out on the first hand of the WSOP ME is good enough for curtains, it's good enough for me.

Doorbell rings, wifey answers.

Young person: "Hi, my name is Blah Whatever - pointing to the laminated name tag hung around his/her neck - "The reason my friend and I are here with you today is a show of our appreciation of your leadership and a plea for role models like yourself to teach others the ways of success".

(An empty 12 passenger van drives past the house, pausing slightly before continuining on it's way).

"Bad timing guys. We are in the middle of making dinner. Good luck." Wifey says politely.

(Door closes)

Me (from the kitchen): Guaranteed they stole something or are going to. Just sayin'....

30 minutes later, wifey discovers her full pack of smokes, a lighter and a potted plant missing from the front porch. She's pissed.

Later tonight, I expect at least a few bikes, a quad and other easily lifted things to disappear from the 'hood. Anyone else have this problem year after year after year?

Spoiler:
Better than folding scenarios, politics or tipping B.S. imo

Wtf at stealing a potted plant. Guess everything has resale value.

Gramps thats the first thing that popped into my head too
03-02-2012 , 12:16 AM
most likely spite. Or he really likes potted plants.

Also, potted plants give you quite a bit of street cred imo.

Thought i'd watch some CNN before going to sleep, switch the channel and first thing I see "This week in Hollywood: George Clooney talks about rumors that he might be gay"... seconds later they show a clip where Ellen Degeneres gives some lesbian a Fisker Karma for her 18th birthday. sigh.

Why did I post this? no idea, i'm tired.
