Seems to me like Randy misplayed his hand and also got unlucky with the cards.

ifmcf attacks the blinds with      gets checked to, flops a weak flush draw, so semi bluffs at it, gets raises but has to call as the pot is large in comparision with the amount to call.

I think this is a mistake by Randy by not just re-raising pre flop with AA or betting out the flo with the hand.

It is also a mistake on ifmcf's part by choosing to attacking the blinds with such a trap hand.

As far as the hand went down as soon as ifmcf raise pre flop, played it perfect.

Byron what i am saying is if a guy is an 'all in maniac' then people will be looking to take a shot to bust him before someone else does, so they are less likely to fold a hand like AJ/KQ assuming they dont fold these and evreyone folds we know that no-one had a big ace or KQ combo, so the chances are the deck is that little bit richer. Now its useless and impossible to factor in the % change but to say it makes no diffrence is clearly wrong.

You said does it matter where he is, well no, if he is going all in evrey hand position is non-existant, as evreyone knows that he is going all in so will only play if they are willing to call that, so again if there is no action then the deck is probably that little bit richer.

I know this is a stretch in holdem but it becomes very relevant in Omaha hi lo. A decision can swing from +ev to -ev based on your ability to read the richness of the deck.

You are assuming way to much about your opponents.  You assume they ALL are willing to stack off holding any KQ QJ 99 etc.  What if they aren't willing to take that chance so early in the tourney and want to wait?  You also assume that they all notice he is all in everyhand.  What if they are playing 5 games or not paying attention to the action and only to their own hand?
