Re: Supplemental simutation data, A4XY hands, 9 handed
These are great sims, and very helpful.
The only caution I’d toss out is that these are no-fold-em sims.
In actual play, your results will be significantly worse, because
1) you will be forced to fold on the flop many of those hands that would have improved on the turn and river.
2) You will not have 8 other people sticking in all that money thru to the river. In real life many of the crappiest hands will get folded, not played, and with 8 others in you are losing equity to the 1-3 others who have A2/A3, but are gaining a lot of equity from the fish with 389K-type hands. So your good results rely heavily on players 5-8 coming in – players who in real life may not be there.
Let me know if I’ve misunderstood anything on the methodology here Buzz.
That said, these make a wider subset of A4 hands look very playable (my read indicates the two most important factors as being 1) suited and 2) no middle cards)
