bluffing theory and agression experiment

A friend and I tried the following 'system' at a 3/6 NL table with oddly favorable results.

Regardless of what our hole cards were, regardless of position, we would open/raise to 4xbb. If we were reraised, we would fold 50%, reraise 25% and call 25%.

Post flop we would raise/open to a pot size bet if we held any pair or 4 flush or better.

If reraised, we go all-in 50% or fold the other times.

We applied similar wagering methods on both the turn and river.

The narrative of the experiment porgressed as one might expect. First few hands, people assumed we had something and folded. Then a few called our raises...but the majority folded after the flop. Some of our random bets actually had cards to back the action and we won a few early showdowns--giving us the bankroll to continue.

My question does such a 'sytstem' have any theoretical relevance?

I grant the time frame of this experiment was very short (only about 5 hours) and variance may explain our luck, since our holes cards did actually hit a few monsters along the way. We may be hard pressed to try it again...at higher stakes especially, but it was interseting to see how so much agression sent the dynamics of the table into a frenzy. Some people became angry. Others were determined to take us down. Others seemed to enjoy the action.

Any thoughts, especially regarding the efficacy of such a 'sytem' would be appreciated.

Thanks.

It'd be interesting to see specific stats on this. I'd give it a try on PStars if my BR was a bit bigger. Actually, maybe I'll just try it on a low limit NL table. PT stats would be interesting to see.

i like this experiment alot, and would do it myself if i had the bankroll, unfortunatly i do not.

however, i believe that if someone knew you were using this strategy, the best counter would be to only call the pf raise with a group one hand (AA KK QQ AKs) and play it all the way to the river. I believe this counter strategy would result in a very large EV for the opponent who employed it.

You must have gotten very lucky. Just dropped two buyins in about 15 minutes.

We did double up early and from that point forward, most opponents were at/below buy-in.

Was not suggesting to try this at home.

Will try again and post PT results

Full ring or shorthanded?

7-9 opponents mostly. Think the volatility drew people away.
