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.
The “always go all in” strategy doesn’t make a lick of sense, yes. He wouldn’t need more money, so long as he won at least once, that would make him double his chips at least.

Probably yes, since new people getting in a different table happens in WSOP (biggest poker tournament). As for buying more chips, he’s buying from the house, guess who’s winning.
