This is not fake or hyothesized. These hands really happened with real people playing. Even more amazing is that the people did not change. 1 hand was played hours after the first hand, but they were played by the same people in the same position.
I've wanted to do this to see the results. Caro did it for me. I found this very interesting. Not only does the winner change, the people who see the flop change, the pot size changes, the showdown changes. It's not slightly different, it's DRASTICALLY different. |

Hey Humpy -
I'm not trying to be a dick here, but do you honestly believe that the exact same hand was dealt to the exact same players in the exact same position with the exact same board all within the exact same hand? Do you know what the probability of that happening has to be? I'd say astronomical.
Forgive me if I'm misunderstanding, and if I am I sincerely apologize. However, I highly doubt that this ever truly occurred. It had to be being used as some sort of example by Caro. |

It was a set-up. I'm sure Caro had stacked decks, and had no part in the hand. It would practically never happen in real life. More of a science experiment with a lesson than just something amazing.
It was set up as an example, to show how different 2 hands can be, even when so many things are the same. |

| Very interesting. What seemed to change it preflop is the pocket 4s folded instead of reraising last time (which scared the JT out of the first even though he won the 2nd). And the players were all around more aggressive on the first hand. |

Agreed - this never actually happened, Caro was just making the point that no player is ever truly "predictable" in their actions, behaving differently each time the cards are dealt, even when (hypothetically) in the exact same situation they have already been in. The idea being to convince yu that this is why you need his book about tells, as knowing how a player is likely to behave isn't as useful as knowing how they are behaving in this hand.

| That's not what Humphrind was saying. He was saying that Caro set up an experiment, where people got dealt the same hand twice in one session (with probably hours seperating them), to see how they'd react differently the second time playing it. |

Now I don't know what to believe. I was 100% sure that he said this was real and it happened. (he set it up and forced it to happen, but it happened.)
Then in his audio clips that I listened to, he cited it again and said, this could really happen when players play this in imaginary parallel universes. I'm going to grab my copy of Caro's Book of Tells when I get home and look this up to see if he really said it happened or not.
I will stick with this. This really could happen (I don't know if it did) but don't worry about it. Look at what it shows, not how it happened. It shows why it's important to look at the players reaction to the action rather than the player himself or the cards he could be playing. Look at their moods. What people will play in 1 hand, they won't play in another. It's true.
How many J8s have you thrown away in middle position?
How many J8s have you played in middle position?
There is no set way to play a hand, it's all conditional.
These hands could be used as an arguement for assuming other players have ANYTHING and not putting them on a hand. What people chose to play in hand 1, they chose not to play in hand 2 and vice versa. |

| I don't think I've ever played J8s in middle position, haha. A2s would be a better example for me. |
