A learning experiment

alternately, it's a straight. by which i mean a poker hand of 5 consecutive ranks and not a heterosexual.

of course, now that i mention it, i might have to try and "flop a joint" the next time one of the more nubile Microers is in town.

I got a small session in at .02/.04 last night before my table broke. Stats so far are:

total hands: 46
VP$IP: 82.6%
W$WSF: 19.5%
Amt Won: $0.58
BB/100: 31.52
WTSD: 22.0
W$SD: 77.8
PFR: 13.0%
Total AF: 1.60

Also, I wasn't playing every hand. If it was 3 or more to me preflop, I played loose, but not everything. I folded 62, 92, and T3 for 3, and I also folded K9 for two after I called 2 initially and it got capped behind me since I figured at best I was hoping for K9x. Also, my VPIP was lowered because of the times I checked my option in the BB and check/folded the flop.

I also agree that this may not be the experience I thought it would be as Xhad pointed out. Cold calling with 84 with the intention folding nearly any flop doesn't really teach much and is kinda dumb since people are basically only betting when they have something and I can't bluff 4 people out. I don't have the roll for it, but maybe playing at .5/1 or 1/2 or something might be better since there, you can somewhat outthink opponents and can actually bluff people off of missed draws/overcards and stuff.

In any case, this was kinda fun. I sat down with 50BB and am now up to 64. I'm debating either staying at my current level until busto, or making this a 50BB challenge and seeing how high I can go.

I tried a variation on this on a 0,25/0,50 $ table on PokerStars tonight. VP$P: over 50 %, RPF: over 38 %. Much spewness ensued, and I lost about 21 $ over 211 hands (15BB/100). What amazed me most - except how fast my bankroll suffered - was how many flops actually hit me. I still managed a SD win of more than 51 %.

Interesting experiment: on one hand, it shows that you can win a lot of hands by opening your raise. OTOH, it seems that raising too much PF hurts your EV.

How hot did you run!!!! WOWZA!

Having a W$WSF: 26.56% when having a VPIP of 100% is insane!

My last 8k hand have been on the complement of this experiment. It's amazing how many boards you can miss raising your usual TAG FR range. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

What about cold-calling? Allowed or mandatory?

What part of 100% vpip didn't you understand? [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

this sounds awesome!

I think you will also have to do this at a level where your opponents arn't likely to react to your 100VPIP by constantly iso-raising you.

nah, that's probably ok too, like a great learning experience for blind defense
