Would you like to help test a theory?

I have a theory about table ratios

Simply said, if more than halve the seats (6:4 or worse 7:3 etc) at a table are filled with complete idiots: the minority (who choose to play poker not bingo) have a much harder time to get ahead.
Please PLEASE! Don’t argue that a good player will automatically triumph, you all know as well as I do that you’re 4x or even 8x UTG raise with AA will get 5 callers…..and we also know how this ends.
With these ratios “luck” becomes the leading factor. You HAVE to wait for the big hands, if “luck” does not give them to you in time ….etc etc…we all know how that ends as well.
No need for me to continue. You’ve got the picture.

This was also inspired by a friend of mine who has some impressive results. He said to me “I can’t beat that game, no one can, almost all you’re options are cancelled out, you can’t bluff the unbluffable, you can’t move on someone who can’t even spell “move”, these games are the reason why some countries have stupid legislation about poker, it is a game of chance”
“You’re bad beat, or blinded out long before the bubble, unless lady luck smiles on you”

(If you haven’t already done this)
Deal 10 hands. Shuffle and repeat 10 times.
Almost every time you will find:
1x Big Ace
1x Pair
1x Suited connector
1x Paint

The other 6 hands are the “complete” crap the “complete” idiots will call you down with (especially if they are sjoooted)

So if: 7 players are “jamming” any 2, and only 1 out of the 3 “players” catches a sweet hand in any kind of a position to play it. We all know the flop will be multi-way and the sweet hand will most likely be “luckily” out drawn (also because the villain(s) can’t find the fold button in any situation)



This theory could be given a trial run.

Take any Freeroll. The blind levels are not long, the stacks are not deep, it’s very basic.

If you load the freeroll with “players” how will this effect the outcome?
With “luck” a number of tables will balance out with a Positive ratio towards “players”.
So….!

Anyone up for “invading” a 500pp game at some stage and seeing how many “players” end up ITM?

A substantial number of “players” would be required to give this test any kind of validity.

…and it might even be a good laugh.


Curious to know if any (how many) of you are on for this?

Have the best of it!
