Online Poker Tournament Rankings

Now do they seem outlandish? http://stattrek.com/Tables/Binomial.aspx Input: 500 trials, 320 successes, .5 probability of success. Not trying to be abrasive, just showing that many are in denial about the facts as they pertain to variance.

" Take 1000 people and line them up. Now give each of them a coin, and tell them to flip it 500 times. Invariably, a certain percentage, say for example 3% of them, will flip heads 480 times and tails only 20 times. Suppose the object of this "game" was to get as many heads as possible." This is so incredibly wrong it's not even funny. Yes, there is variance in multi-table tournaments, and in coin tosses as well. But your example drastically overstates the odds of this occurring.

All of the advice in this thread is absolutely atrocious. The preflop raise is fine, the flop play is fine, the turn play is fine. As another poster said, why would you 3-bet the flop when most hands that are behind are drawing to very few outs? If he has like A7 or 55 or any random crap like that, WHY WHY WHY would you ever 3 bet the flop. You played it fine oh well you ran into a hand gg.

Watch it. If I catch you watching a pirated copy of episode 9 I'll take this to the FEDERAL level.

Hey there... Looking for a fun prop bet and came up with this challenge. Just curious if anyone would like to prop bet me that I can't turn $8 on Stars into $888 within 7 days (168 hours). This would be from playing cash games/SNGs/MTTs. All the money being wagered would be held in escrow by a trusted P5er/2+2er. I guess we'll say I can't use FPPs earned during the challenge? But might need odds in that case. Discuss...
