Default Ever heard of this? (action-oriented post)

This post has nothing to do with my poker ability or lack thereof.

I have some game-theory based ideas about SNGs that led me to think of an interesting proposition bet.

I'm going to play 100 $5+1 SNGs on Party(skin) with a sticky-note covering my hole cards. I will never look at my hole cards. Ever.

I will be willing to wager up to $300 that my ROI will be positive.

Again, this has nothing to do with me or my ability... I'm just a bot here that knows a little about bluffing.

I don't want to run an experiment, because I don't want to play 1000 of them. So, I'll have to settle for a proposition bet. That way, while the results will be almost entirely uninteresting... at least it will be fun.

Does your ROI take into consideration the rake? If not I think you can do it.

How would we know that you were covering your hole-cards, and how would we know what your actual ROI is?

If there was some way to figure this out I would take $300 on it.

I remember someone doing this a while back. I thought it was entertaining, especially when he foled AA. I'll be watching.

It's an interesting idea. However, between 20% rake, an inability to use big hands early to expand your stack, and an audience that probably calls a little too much until the bubble itself, I think this might be a little tricky. I'd lay $50 that you can't do it. Even money, I assume.

EDIT: I trust there are no rakeback loopholes here. That would alter my decision, perhaps.

Whomever ends up taking this action will likely know me, or at least know of my financial dealings with forum members... so this won't be a concern.

I'll take $25 (including the rake and excluding rakeback).

PM me when you get started.

You can't bluff $6 players. Value-betting is very, very good, much better than in the $215's. I don't think you can do it.

Guess you're trying to fold ITM then...
