If you had really understood then I don't believe you would say that the video is a waste of time. I understand fully well what Neeson was getting at, and much more as my whole occupation currently is Game theory and Gambling Theory; and I still found it interesting and worth while. So then between the two possibilities that you really understood what was being advanced and found it worthless or that you didn't really get the full subtle implications. I am inclined to go with the later.

Most of the regular players were affiliated with Trip aces poker forum. At the time this was the biggest play stakes available on Fulltilt and our play chip stacks all grew from the many other players who would come in and try and take a shot.
It was a great learning environment and there was no real risk involved. So again I would assert that it's not the risk directly that teaches you anything about poker.
As a digression Jennifer Tilly use to play in there a lot.

it's just not a very enjoyable experience.
As a matter of fact when I first started learning the game three years ago, there was a group of us who would play in Jennifer Harman's play stakes room on Fulltilt. We all took the game seriously, and anybody who didn't never lasted long because everybody else playing as optimally as they could. In this way a relatively high standard of play was maintained in that room. And we were all practicing to play as optimally as we were capable.

Well I don't know if the risk is directly responsible for teaching you anything. It's just that poker doesn't exist without money. The game itself cannot be maintained without the risk. No risk, no poker. If you had people who decided to take poker just as seriously and try to play as optimally without money, and hence without real financial risk, then you could in fact learn just as much. And really even if other people don't play this way without money you still can, it's just that then...

The analogy to poker then is that poker begins when you start getting into the mind of your opponents, but it still matters what cards-- or by analogy-- what hat your wearing.
As Jennifer Harmon says poker is easy you just have to ask yourself what does your opponent have. Then ask yourself what does your opponent think you have. Then ask yourself what does your opponent think that you think they have. Then ask yourself... well I think you get the picture.
Roshibear (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
His explanation sucks. It is still relevant what color hat you have on. The important consideration is that there isn't enough information for A to figure out there own hat color if B and C both have on red hats and raising their hands until person imagines a hypothetical from the perspective of the other participants. It then becomes clear that if this hypothetical were true then a certain behavior would occur. That behavior is not occurring and so therefor the hypothetical can not be true...

I believe that This is the perfect intro to promote poker as a sport. When you compare some Olympic Sports to a poker,they have so much incomon that there is no reason for poker not to be promoted as a sport.
Do the homework: compare following sports to a poker and you will see many things incomon:
Archery ,Auto racing ,Boardsports ,Fishing and so many more. Might sound bit silly to you but when you think logicaly it does makes sence.

The girl that got it right realized that since on one had an answer after 15 seconds , that this wasn't the case and her hat must be red. |
