A Passive Experiment
 

To test just how passive the Party Poker NL 6-max tables were, I decided to raise 50 times in a row preflop.

Here are the results:
Times reraised: 1/50 (showed KK)
Blinds stolen: 20/50 (this is the most amazing part about it)
Continuation bets succeeded: 5/30 (this shows that if you start raising a bunch, people will either start playing with more quality hands, or they will not respect your postflop play either)
Total profit: $10.25

Nice experiment. What stakes are these at?
And how did you manage to profit from that when you lost one buy-in? (i reckon you found his hand form a showdown?)

He showed his hand after I folded. Stakes were NL 25.

wow, very nice idea and concept, but what is more suprising is that it worked. mabye you should try this out at other places, like pacific/inter poker

Re: A Passive Experiment
 

Interesting experiment. It certainly won't work as well at the higher 6-handed limits though.

Re: A Passive Experiment
 

How much were you raising?

Re: A Passive Experiment
 

$1 + .25 for each limper.

Re: A Passive Experiment
 

And your continuation bet on the flop was about pot sized?

So you only got past the flop half the time (winning the other half outright). On the turns and rivers you just played normally - or did you just check things down?

Re: A Passive Experiment
 

Always raised $1 + $.25 per limper preflop. Always made a 2/3 sized continuation bet. Always folded to a reraise when I didn't have a hand.

Played turn/river normal.

Re: A Passive Experiment
 

What where you doing if somebody raised before you?

Re: A Passive Experiment
 

Strange thing is that it only came up once. I folded.

Re: A Passive Experiment
 

alot of this does have to do with table selection, but this is really interesting.

try doing this over 1k hands @NL25.

Then try readjusting and fold half your hands.

Then try readjusting that, folding 60% of your hands and not autobetting the flop because your c-bets dont get respect.

Then move up.

That is a very good lesson, and profitable.

Re: A Passive Experiment
 

Ive just did at 400NL.
Afte 20hands I made like 150$ and then this hand came :
I have Q3o at BB, 2limpers, I made it 16 (like always), folded around...

Re: A Passive Experiment
 

So far I'm up $5 (was up $10) after about 20 hands.... I've been raised 3 times. Twice I was only raised $0.25 - and I just did the raise per the system and won. The other was a larger raise, and I folded.
