Apparently playing 86/80 is not profitable
 

Beat: Lost 2600 bb in 686 hands
Brag: LOL mini-steaks so not very much $

Extra-beat: This was a somewhat significant portion of my roll [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Variance: After 4 or 5 nights of this people started cheering when I joined their table.

I like how you're still over breakeven for about half of this graph. Online poker is rigged.

When you open shove about 40% of flops, you get paid off.

Quality thread that should be read by all. Newhizzle makes an excellent guest appearance [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Apparently playing 86/80 is not profitable
 

op,

serious question -- how do you decide which hands to fold/coldcall preflop?

If I have a face card in my hand, any pair, two suited cards, or two cards under 10 within 3 of each other I come in for a raise or 3 bet. I almost never just call unless someone comes in for a 25 bb raise pf or something.

I only fold when I gap out and forget I'm playing this way or someone pushes ahead of me and I don't have at least king high.

Also, there are maybe 80 hands at the end where I played normal to see what it was like at these stakes. This probably makes up about 12-13% of the 14% of hands folded pre. So I was probably playing more like 98/80.
