    to be honest mate i believe you have waited till you have had a few beers, and then just fancy a good old moan, if livechat cant see what you are talking about (they can recall conversations on the tables i think) then it never happened imo

    Yes they can go back and check chat but also they also email the other players on the table in events like this to get the full facts.

    Still cant get my head round why he would want others to fold. 'Many hands make light work' so they say

    Were you the short stack on the table, if so the other players calling or not would have made no difference to the outcome as lets be honest, he's never gonna fold.

    Personally, I think because the outcome would have been the same regardless then Sky have no need to persue this further other than perhaps giving the villain a chat ban. Certainly I cant see them refunding your buy-in/giving you free seat in next months primo. I reiterate, this is only my opinion.

    While it is innappropriate to talk about hands in the chat box, in this instance no harm was done?  He was always calling with AA.  You was gonna lose a large proportion of the time.

    He did cover himself from being given a bad beat tho by another caller but w/e, that didn't change your hand or chance of winning it only increased his by a small percentage.

    My advice would be to stop moaning and get on with it.  Because no one really cares and you are embarrasing yourself by moaning so much about being knocked out of a low limit satellite tournie.

    Actually by encouraging others to fold only increased your chances.
    He did you a favour by ultimately protecting your hand against multiple opponents.

    It didn't increase his chances.  He still needed to beat AA, as did anyone else calling.

    It would have increased his equity in the total pot but thats a different matter.

    It DID increase his chances of winning the pot - probably not significantly but it did increase them.

    Sorry to disagree, it did increase his chances as he only had to beat AA, not AA, KQ J7 etc etc.

    Yes, it did at the same time increase AA's chance of winning the pot but it was bubble time. +ev states AA did not need to win the pot, just ensure the all in lost it and by having multiple opponents would increase the chances of that happening.

    ok well thats why i love poker.  just did some quick calcs on various random hands and have found that yeah they tend to increase the chance by a fraction of a percentage.

    now im gonna try and find out why that is because i can't figure it out myself, in fact IMO it should decrease the chance......

    maybe im just thick

    Not really, just sense, the fewer hands in a pot will always increase your starting hand percentage of winning against any other hand. Otherwise whats ever the point in prelop raises?

    No I understand the AA part.

    Lets say the OP in this thread had KJo.

    AA vs KJo is 86.5/13.5 (approx)

    What I don't get is why 3 way AA vs KJo vs 65ss is 63.5/14.3/22.2 (approx).

    Surely the odds for KJo to win should go down......

    I'm confused.  Help me Mere lol

    Just simple maths.
    Say he had 33 and was up against AA.
    He's a bit worse than 20/80 to win and basically he needs to hit his 3 to win - although there are obviously other ways.
    If he hits his 3 he really only has to avoid an A.
    If he's also up against 99 and TT, he also needs to avoid 2 9's and 2 T's so there are 3 times as many re-draws in this case.

    how do you know wemjay was gonna be put out regardless, another player may have bet ( KK , QQ etc) but then folded because of the chat,  if they had fewer chips and 2 players lost then they would have lost. To be honest its not skys fault however id be peed off if it happened to me and i think the player should be banned for 3 months- do it again then ban 4 life it is cheating. In response to webby i see your point but that should not matter , cheating is cheating and the time lapse should not matter only the facts

    Thats what I thought I was saying :s

    Someone said that having the pot multiway that it increased the OPs chances of winning. 

    I can't see how it can do, as the OPs cards aren't gonna be affected by a random villains holding.

    I think some how we're all getting confused here.  Cos what you just typed out is what I said originally... :s

    But on top of that I just did the stats a few posts up and thats confused me even more.

    Sigh its too late for this and this is gonna bug me.
