I've had it; Time for the ACTUAL allin every hand HU4T study.

[Daliman]

Well, I now have a not-so-grand total of 6 wins my last 110 SNG's, compared to 19 2nd's, and after the 2nd time tonight where I had someone outchipped 4-1 HU and allin with a 2-1 fave or more and lost, I am finally going to do what I had mentioned in a post earlier this year and many though I had actually done.

From now on, for the next 100 times I get HU4T, I will push every single hand I get in the SB. This does NOT mean I will call all allins, or push when SB limps in. There, i will use my discretion. But obviously, from my results, i am the worlds worst HU4T player. It CAN'T get any worse....

I will update nightly my W-L totals, along with chip counts when I get HU.
P.S. As I wrote this, I got HU4T with only 975 chips, and I ended up winning, due in large part to 2 hands I normally do not push(2nd one I likely do though) winning me big pots. Obviously, the poker gods are smiling upon my endeavour.

Sounds like you're on serious tilt.. Way to donate money. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]
Why not just take a break or conduct this experiment in the $5+1's or something?

How does this differ from the original experiment, except that you are apparently intending to follow through with it this time?

Citty, Citty, poor grumpy Citty....

#1 It differs because the last time all I was doing was tracking my chip total when I got HU4T and W-L, and I found out during that run that my finishes were actually a slight bit ahead of my average chips, i.e. I was winning a bit more than I should have. I got to about the 85th game or so before I lost interest.

#2. In the first post of that thread/challenge, I said that if my results were still crappy after the 100 HU4T's, I would just push every hand the next 100 and compare results, because, of course, that would give full proof, just ask easty.... Many people misunderstood it as I was doing this in the initial challenge, but this is only because they are morans....

I would rather watch yer cat watching paint dry over growing grass than play 5+1's, and plus, the strategy isn't too far from optimal in most cases anyways.

No need to worry about me donating.....

Dali,

Not grumpy, I'm actually quite interested in your experiment, but I want to know how it's going to be different this time, so when I follow along from my armchair, I'll know what I'm following. (I wouldn't like it to be like that time I tried to watch cricket and couldn't figure out the rules.)

a) could you tell us how you're going to decide if you call a push or what you do against either a raise or a complete?

b) could you tell us if you're going to consider doing the push every hand no matter what strategy at any point?

c) so this time you're not tracking the chips? or what? you're going to actually play 100? i'm still confused about what's the difference.
