Does Tight Passive pay during Reloads??
I have noticed that during reload bonuses that the tables frequently folded when I raised my hands at any point, leaving me taking down only a small pot here and there.
I was winning over 4+BB/100 at the .25/.50 playing tight-agressive poker on UB. Today I decided to try a little experiment... I played passively all day trying to induce more callers when I knew (or was fairly certain) I was ahead and favored in the hands. I created a seperate PT file for today only. Well of the 1813 hands I played passively today I am up $119.40 that is 13.17BB/100 PT has me rated at a Calling Station/SLPP. with VP$IP 23.11, W$SD 50.46, PFR 6.12, and Aggression factor of 0.88(includes pre-flop) Anyone have a reason to explain why and what would cause my win rate to go up when I played like this?

Variance. [/ QUOTE ] I knew that would be one of the answers but I did not expect it to be the first one. There has to be more to it that just Variance. I mean if they want to try to work off their bonus dollars then wouldn't they want to raise the pot up and try to get a larger pot with a better Rake Per Hand average?

Probably just variance though. |

[/ QUOTE ] They want more money in the pot--but not THEIR money. Play them even more aggressively than normal. Small pots are shiny when you're taking down close to 25% of the pots at a table. |

Re: Does Tight Passive pay during Reloads??
Its kind of a coincidence you posted this. I have been on party for about 900 hands clearing the bonus and looked at my stats and it has me as a slap. I was wondering what the heck is going on, but I had a pretty good run of some unbelievable hands. My conconclusion is in the whole grand scheme of things your stats are going to change and around 2k of hands is not really indicative of your play or how you should play.
