As already said, it is nothing more than a myth.Here's a theory. Usually, those players who have a bigger stack than others win more often. It doesn't matter what cards they have.... the main thing is that their stack is just bigger than yours. So I'm wondering: how often have you noticed how a player with the biggest stack beats 4-5 players with a small stack, but who have much stronger cards (assuming all players go all-in pre-flop)?
your not seeing the big picture in that your opponent called with j3o when way behind.It’s just a coincidence, but I myself constantly notice this at the tables. When you want to play as correctly as possible, you don’t get involved in stupid hands and just wait for a hand - and here it is: AA, you waited for it in 10 bb and your opponent with 41bb without hesitation presses a call on your all-in. What hand does he have to snap call? WHAT?! J3o?! And what do you think the flop is? JJ3. So yes - a large stack simply allows you to play “dirtier” and more freely, and such hands cannot be ignored and become memorable
Specifically in that situation, it seems to me that my opponent called because I had a knockout 2х buyins. (and just at that moment I thought that this would be beneficial for me - he would definitely want to take it for himself and would come in with a weak hand ) . and yes, thanks for the reply. I know that aces do not guarantee you anything and I have run them over with similar hands many times - just a memory that popped into my head)your not seeing the big picture in that your opponent called with j3o when way behind.
j3o is still winning ~15% of the time and jj3xx is one of the winning combinations. the fact they hit a the flop is irrelevant because the goal in poker isnt to not lose with big hands, it's to make +ev decisions.
there is more value in knowing they call off this wide than there is in them folding j3o. to put it another way, them folding j3o is the safe option for aces. them calling is the riskier, but more profitable option for aces.
OHHH! You are walking on thin ice around here wit that theory. I think it is plausible but I deny ever supporting it LOL!I have repeatedly noticed this at Pokerstars and have come across such cases myself many times. I think the random number generator at PokerStars is initially set up so that tournaments do not drag out in time, and therefore there is a high probability that a large stack will knock a small one out of the game
