Therefore, those people who aren't in the top calibre will lose in the long run, and those who are better will always win in the long run.

Not to get off topic or anything

Yeah I went to AC once and really all you need are a couple players at the table that are not very good.
There was one player that I remember that was a virtual page out of Karo's book of tells. I was getting no cards though and it was the first time I played in a real casino. I think I played 5 or 6 hands over 4 hours. You just need to find a fish at the table and avoid getting into hands with the sharks.

I voted NO!

But Wolf Blitzer thinks Yes She Can!


"In short, I think it’s fair to say she’s in serious political trouble right now. But given the Clintons’ history, it would be a mistake to say her quest for the presidency is over. If she manages to win in Texas and Ohio — and that still is possible — she will go on to Pennsylvania on April 22, and this roller coaster political season will continue."

Obama wins Democrats Abroad contest

CNN Political Ticker: All politics, all the time - Blogs from CNN.com

Barack Obama has won the Democrats Abroad Global Primary, according to the International Chair for the Democrats Abroad, Christine Marques.

Marques tells CNN the results of the week-long vote were:
Barack Obama – 65 percent, Hillary Clinton – 32 percent, with the rest of the candidates pulling in less than 1 percent of the vote each.


Democrats Abroad will send 22 delegates to the Democratic Convention, with half a vote each, carrying a total of 11 votes.

The delegate thing for this is screwy and other reason they should scrap it - but chalk up another win for young Obama!

I think before super tuesday you had a situation where Hillary had a pocket pair to Obama's two overcards. Hillary was the odds on favorite ( ~55% to win ) . After super tuesday we saw the flop and Obama paired up both of his hole cards giving him two pair to Hillary's pocket 9s. Hillary still has a couple outs in the deck, but now that super tuesday is behind us, Obama is the odds on favorite. unless she hits one of the two remaining 9s in the deck, she's done. I will call Texas the Turn and Ohio the River. I dunno. I guess.
It's not impossible but it is unlikely. If I was Obama, I would not feel bad about having all of my chips in the pot.

Wouldn't this depend on the two overcards that Obama holds in your example?

If he held anything other than an Ace, she has 3 cards to a straight giving her more outs than just two 9's. She'd have to hit runner, runner, but it's still more outs...

Love Texas holdem!

So she's 12% on the turn instead of 8%, big difference

I'm pointing out the fallacy in the "Texas holdem" analogy...based on his flawed example...

not the percentage chance of either of them winning...

...and doesn't this depend on what the turn card is?

Any good "holdem" player would already knows the percentages...

...the analogy still wouldn't be in Clinton's favor....

...but I am one of the 3 who voted for her in the poll because the "trend" is your friend...Bush, Clinton, Bush, Clinton...

I like my chances...

You are looking too deep into it. If you don;t like her 9's maybe we can replace them with 5's or something. It doesn't matter. It was just an analogy.
