So I looked up Daliman's record on PokerProphecy *low content*

Is it even possible to maintain an ITM that high without getting dealt AA every single hand? How can I be more like you!!??

I have a great pattern mapper. Was on the fritz for the $215's.

i use the same pattern mapper, it works wonders.

So, what exactly do you mean by pattern mapper?

[stupidsucker]

haha

I cant believe I still see pattern map jokes.

My ITM acording to them is less then 30% but they only have 45 games listed for me out of close to 500 I have played since jan 21st.

One of the great threads.

It's 99% ridiculous, but if you have some spare time and fancy a giggle.... well there's the link.

Are you really pushing all in at the higher levels? I find that I'm often called when I pushed. Even If I'm only pushing once or twice an orbit, people always feel compelled to call with anything from 89s to 22. And even if I start with the better hand, I'll get outdrawn at least 1/3rd of the time... all in all, I think it's impossible to have an ITM higher than 45% unless you're playing the flop and getting good reads.

Or maybe I just suck at poker?

edit: just busted OTM at two tables at the same time. One, two limpers. I push in SB with QQ, and get called by 77 who hits a set.

The other, I raise with TT and get called. All low flop. I push and he calls with two pair 67??? I'm sure they're paying me off more often than now... but I can't for the life of me get higher than 35% ITM...


edit: just realized I busted just before that with QQ pushing all in and getting called by AJ... hits an A. Not a good day for QQ.

[raptor517]

i think 45% itm would be very difficult to do at any level above 30+3.

That's the point... you're never a huge favourite. In the examples you've posted, I actually was a alrge favourite. But with most pushes, you might have KT or worse to steal the blinds, and it's not all that unlikely for a big stack to call with 78 or 33 or A2, and surviving all of them is not likely.

It's very very difficult to attain a high ITM% using the standard SNG strategy, so I'm wondering what variations is he using.
