Message: [QUOTE="Lheticus, post: 2395232, member: 111392"] Okay, first off, the "ghost town" thing was NOT my words, and it is THE furthest thing from my intent to bash anyone here. I guess I didn't think parroting that through and I apologize, but I'd appreciate it if you'd be less accusing. The accusation that I'm resorting to a logical fallacy goes even further and genuinely offends me. I dismiss the notion of reaching the long run via multiple tournaments because each tournament result is independent of each other tournament result, and I believe as such that long run probability simply does not matter when a "here and now" result that goes against such probability reduces the probability of making it anywhere NEAR the money bubble to zero or an exceedingly low chance due to you being extremely short stacked. Unless you can enlighten me as to how this constitutes a logical fallacy, you have less than no right to act as though your view is as superior to mine as you are. Also, if anyone is indulging in logical fallacies, it's you--namely via appeal to extremes. Folding AA preflop just because you're all in is an absurd example, and completely misses the point of what I'm trying to say--rarely are situations in poker so clear-cut. Let's say instead that I have...let's say 10 10 with a slightly above average stack, with a few dozen to go before the money bubble. If someone shoves in front of me preflop who has more chips than me, considering the stack size, there is a significant chance he has a premium pair, but let's say he's a donk and has something like 10 J suited. Most of the time, I would win, but if he catches a straight, flush, or Jack, I won't. If I go for it and win, I will be in a significantly better position, but if I go for it and he lucks out, I will be in the worst position possible--out of the tournament with nothing. In this instance, the positive EV for that hand IS MEANINGLESS. Also, what's with that crack about "most people who post stuff like this are unwilling to change their views"? That sounds close to insulting a large segment of this forum or even of the [I]entire poker player population.[/I] I ask that you refrain from judging me without giving me a chance, please. [/QUOTE]
