Playing w/out seeing holecards challenge
 

Ok, so I've decided to kill some time.

I always wanted to do this. To see how bad will I do if I try to play without seeing my holecards.

So, the challenge is:

25 $3 s&g's (those could actually be played w/o looking at cards I guess)

and/or

500 hands of .05/.10NL cash game

Post results. Graph, PT winrate, EV. Gogogo.

Might try this later.
It would problaby be easier at higher stakes though...

At higher stakes you'd have to cheat and look [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Yes, it actually would. I think the low-limit s&g's can be beat for a posotive ROI. And the high-stakes NL could be break-even or slightly losing. It all depends on the skill obv.
Also, ratholing 20BB with an excessive use of PAHUD might actually show some positive winrate as well (since its pretty much similar to s&g's).

I'm doing the $3 s&g's right now.

if i run good today ill do the 500 hands of 50/1, should be pretty funny to see how much i lose

After like 5 minutes I could say thet $3 s&g's are unbeatable w/o cards, you can only v-bet at this level [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].

indeed.
25-100nl seem the ideal place to try this experiment as your opponents can hand-read and make big laydowns but are still pretty horrible.
