If people believe that bad play is rewarded...

...then, why don't you play badly?

Is someone willing to try it, as an experiment?

Play according to a set of rules, let's say...

  • Limp/call every hand to ensure you see every flop.
  • If you flop a draw, pay whatever it takes to chase it to the river.
  • If you have a small pocket pair, call every street, regardless of the board.
  • Bet/call to the river if you connect with the flop in any way (even 3rd pair)
  • Sometimes, just call anyway, even if you have absolutely nothing

Since this type of play is always rewarded, I'm sure you'll be raking it in.

Let us know how you get on.

    Seems like a good strategy to me - one that could net a small fortune.

    Of course you'd have to start out with a large one to begin with . . .

    Can't see all of the summary but presume it was a ten of something that took your chips?

    Odds? four 10s out of 47 unseens to do this, with two opportunities for one of them to pop up . . . so 4/47 x 2/1 = 8/47, or roughly 1/6; 5-1 against. Not exactly long odds?

    Forget the voodoo and the anecdotal "bad play being rewarded" lines, trust the maths.

    Nooooooo it only tracks MTT's and Sng's but it works on sky.

    200 searches for $9.99.....

    Or if you can wait, 5 free a day! wiiiiiiiiii

    Don't start with nutter, elsa, snedd, goodylad, mickjenn, jakally etc.

    They will make you feel insignificant  :(

    Start with Young Gun, and work up. lol.

    Pretty good...

    1,001 games, that's sit and gos and MTT's put together.....

    $2,870 profit.

    Just go to www.sharkscope.com and you can play about with it.

    If you sattellite into an MTT, it still shows on ur stats that you have paid the full amount to buy in. So it's not 100%

    But close enough.

    Doh you must change your avatar..I spend my whole life hoping you don't reply to one of my posts with sensible sugguestions such as variance, implied odds and,fold equity.

    Now you look like that....I don't think i will ever question you again....in fact i don't think i will ever sleep again.


    It really is too much.(And thats from a man wearing a princess hat)

    oink
