I don’t play Poker, so maybe one of you can explain this to me, because I’m not sure I understand this. If you go all-in and lose, your chips go to the other players. This means that, if you wanted to buy new chips and re-enter the game, you would need to buy more chips after each loss, because you need enough chips to force the other players who don’t fold to go all-in in order to beat them (and those players now have more chips).
Did I get this right? Because if I do, then this insane spiral of self-inflating risk really isn’t the flattering analogy that Musk fanboys probably think it is.
Also, do actual Poker tables even allow you to get back into a game that you lost when you come back with more chips? This seems implausible to me, because that would indeed be vulnerable to this “pay-to-win” strategy.
