Ever heard of this? (action-oriented post)

[Irieguy]

Meh.

This is hard. And boring. It's only 10, but I don't like the way it feels so far. At least I can't tell if I'm running badly or not (I've only watched 1 HH in the replayer.)

1st: 0
2nd: 1
3rd: 1
OOTM: 8

I was hoping for more hands like this:

Atchydog shows [ Jd, Ad ] high card ace.
Irie shows [ 7h, 8d ] a straight, four to eight.
Irie wins 1321 chips from side pot #1 with a straight, four to eight.
Irie wins 4134 chips from the main pot with a straight, four to eight.
Atchydog finished in fourth place.
Atchydog has left the table.


This was the 4th one I played, and I found it ironic that Raptor's famous AJ thread could have saved Atchydog his untimely demise.

It was doubly ironic that the player that beat me HU was named "holla."

I think it's a pretty fun experiment. If it fails miserably, that's probably at least as interesting as a +2% ROI or whatever you were expecting.

If you were a real glutten for punishment, I'd say repeat the experiment at $55 and compare results.

Are you going to reveal your top secret game theory strategy or is that proprietary? And why is it so different from what we all know it should be, more or less?

Agreed! I like the challenge--gl to you irie, but as 4317 posters have said before me, that rake is killer.

looking forward to the "Irie's Guide to beating the 6s...blind" post

I haven't decided yet. It's not so much a top secret strategy as simply a way of weighting particular tactics in such a manner as to allow yourself maximum potential from those tactics... at the expense of all other tactics that have anything to do with the cards you hold.

Personally, I think that losing less than the rake would be a pretty dramatic statement about the tactics themselves... so i'm not likely to discuss much if I do at least that well. I'll simply let the post-game analysis focus on the fact that I talked smack and got pwned by Raptor.

There is no way you are gonna win this bet...

Actually, let me rephrase that. You might get lucky and win this bet, but there is no way that a blind strategy can beat the $6 game (or any SNG level). Just my opinion. I'd take this bet in a second, if it didn't feel so much like shooting fish in a barrel. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

How many tables are you playing at once? If you are 1-3 tabling I will take the treeofwisdom action and exonerate you from being such an axxhole. If you are running 8-tables, then I'm out and you're just an asshxxle like all the noobs say.

I'm going to play one table at a time and try very hard. My game-theory based approach is not what everybody thinks it will be.

Also, in case you want some more side action: if TOW takes you up on the bet and I win, the odds against him paying you are 10-1... and I know 3 people that will book that for you.

WOW, you must be really interested in your theory to try to make $300 playing $100 $5 SNG's 1 at a time when if you were 6-tabling the $109's for a similar amount of time with a 5% ROI, you would have $3500.

[stupidsucker]

Somehow for some reason I imagine Irieguy surrounded by strippers talking about poker.

I'll take $25 sidebet against ToW7 for fun if you are still interested on the condition that he transfers me or a third party the money before any more results are posted.

This is your chance to spite that a$$hole Ireieguy and make $25.

Not if he thinks proper use of this theory at other levels will elevate his ROI 1-2%.

I would not feel comfortable taking this bet.
