In Response To: Cuttin' to the chase (Daniel Murphy)

Sexton believes this tactic would make "a total novice" no worse than a 2-1 underdog in a heads-up match against the greatest no-limit hold 'em player in the world. The novice would simply have to move all in on every hand. Sexton predicted that the great player would "fold 8 to 10 times in a row and then make a stand with something like A-10 or a pair of 8's, hands that won't be a big favorite over any other. If the novice wins the hand, it's over. If not, he continues to move all in, building his stack back up

Sexton again addresses nothing of stack sizes, blind structures, antes. He also doesn't say what the novice is to do when the pro moves raises or moves all in on him. (the pro is first to act half the time you know!?) Seems to me like he also fails to grasp that if the novice did lose that hand after the pro called him 8-10 hands in that the pro can basically auto call the next couple of all ins, he's not going to keep folding when he has a monster stack and the novice has been crippled, there will be no building his stack back up by playing the role of push monkey and having the pro fold.
