Al Mirpuri: The Draw Poker Stats

[Al Mirpuri]

Okay, I have played 52467 hands of draw poker at the $1/$2 level. It is a five handed game with two blinds, 50c/$1. (obviously, the table is not always full.) I am winning at a rate of 1.49 bb per 100 hands. This has declined sharply as the draw poker fish get to know me and fear me. They just won't play with me. The draw poker pool is not big anyway on Paradise Poker. During these 52K+ hands I have had two downswings of 100 big bets and one downswing of 150 big bets. I am a recreational player so it is not a case of making my nut but obviously if the money won is a reflection of my ability then I want it to accurately reflect it.

Tell me what you think of the win rate (and I am especially interested in what anyone playing on Paradise Poker or the other skins that service Sports Bet have to say.

NB: the winrate was a lot higher yesterday. I have had cooler of 50 big bets only today.
