kerpowski\'s minraise open
Kerpowski (good regular on Stars) always opens to $20 on Stars 5/10. Why does he do this? I haven't had much trouble with it, but it has made for some unique spots. Maybe that's why, since many regs play somewhat formulaically, they don't know wtf to do when something slightly out of the ordinary arises (and often compensate incorrectly). Thoughtz?

Re: kerpowski\'s minraise open
I think this type of stuff is bad to post on the forum. Hands, even against specific opponents are fine but posts where it ends up being the forum as whole ganging up to exploit a single person's game is just a bit unethical IMO.
I doubt you really meant too much by posting it, I just think it's something that isn't what this forum is designed to discuss. If you want to discuss another reg's tendencies or strategy on AIM with someone else that's fine but I think that this thread should be killed. |

Re: kerpowski\'s minraise open
I don't think this is out of line at all, as long as you don't target kerp specifically, which to my knowledge he isnt, except for the fact that he is currently the one doing it.
He's just basically asking "thoughts on the whole idea of minraising preflop pretty much all the time?" |

Post would be fine without the name.

I can repost in a week or so if people would feel more comfortable with this. |

Re: kerpowski\'s minraise open
presumably anybody who adopts such a strategy is looking to take advantage of the fact that he's a superior player when the stacksize to pot ratio on the flop is bigger.

Re: kerpowski\'s minraise open
ding! we have a winner...
the minraise strat has some advantages over certain lineups and it is at least slightly more difficult to play vs others, especially in EP. I've been doing it across the board for consistency's sake as an expirement. FYI, my winrate doing this is relatively close to my long term winrate at 5/10 and 10/20 combined over approximately 50K hands with the same SD/100. |

Re: kerpowski\'s minraise open
I included his name just to validate the strategy somewhat. I see where you are coming from and on second thought I probably should've made it an anonymous good reg, but now that it's already here we might as well discuss it, I don't think it will hurt him that much if at all.
But whatev, I haven't posted here very long so if I'm wrong on etiquette it's np. |
