Thermodynamically, that's impossible, but some people do get within microkelvins.

Physics shade.

Only seen [loser breaks] in race to 3 local weeklies. I see why it is used in that context but I agree it is not good for a bigger tournament with longer races.

It's good because it gives the weak players the illusion that they have a better chance to win, so they get in. They just get more chances to break badly. Really.

I guess Matchroom isn't the sharpest tool in the tool chest to go up against Buffalo's. 500K in the Calcutta to shoot at.

It doesn’t matter what I know or don’t know about the event and its history, bottom line is that in 2026 it’s boring to death…

That's probably why there were fewer than 64 entries in each event.

Not a good way to play. Once you see it demonstrated you would agree.

Either move on with the time or die.

its not clear at all who is in on the so called pot of money. the real thing is what each player is betting not what side money is there.
and who knows what the real amount is as someone just says so and likely isnt part of the action..

and in poker the pot is constantly changing till the very end. and ive never heard them saying in the middle.
it is always said, the size of the bet or the size of the pot.

Yep, for example, if I played SVB and he beat me 9-1. The breaker would have won the rack 90% of the time. That data is skewed.

In winner breaks, I think it is skewed to make the break look better when there is a large mismatch. That makes it all the more remarkable when it calculates out to be close to 50%, If two FargoRate 300s play, I think it will be real close to 50% and six or ten turns per game.
