In Response To: one of my big blunders this weekend (Petko)

Petko, how many WC players said they would double and drop if doubled?

You may compare that ratio with the statistics that XG presents.

Say that XG claims it is a .200 blunder to double and a .600 blunder to pass.

Your risk is .200 and gain is .600

R/R+G = .200/.800 or 1/4.

If the world class players who drop exceeds 25%, then you ought to be doubling, mathematically.

However those who both doubled and dropped, should they be on your list of WCP?

Maybe you should have a different list of players. You could call them extremely wise and exceptionally talented world class players, like yourself.

You know, those who know NOT to double this sort of position but do so anyway to trap the WCP that consider this both a double and a pass. You must watch out for EWATWCPs!

It seems that you have truly become the man, sir. Despite boneheaded blunders such as this that ruin your PR, you have amassed a large following of admirers based on your tournament results over the last decade.

but to suggest that you should ever ignore what XG says? Come on now!
