I'm wondering if there's some information to be had about your game from
collecting statistics of where at the table people bust out earliest. This
starts from Mike Caro's famous observation that money flows clockwise. So
normal tight play, done well, might cause the players close to your left to
bust earlier. On the other hand, you generally have an information
advantage over the players to your right, so good use of information might
cause the players to your right to bust earlier. On the third hand (I'm a
chemist), being "a force at the table" might, generally, tend to make
players near you to either side bust earlier. For reasons of personal
embarrassment, we will ignore the case of the player in your seat generally
busting first.
Make sense? Anyone have data?
