Does preflop even matter at all??

I play 50 percent of all hands.
I cold call raises with suited 6 gappers.
I 3-bet suited connectors from the blinds.
I open raise most pocket pairs UTG.

Not as a rule.

But more often than not that is my preflop model.

I beat the 5/10 6 max badly.

You probably haven't played more than 50 hands.

Alexthegreat · #3 09-04-2005, 07:45 AM

months and months worth.

easily 75 k hands or more.

No PT. No x/y/z for y'all to drool over.

You can't formulate an opinion on this without stats??
Do you not trust me??
I'm not making this up to look cool for you guys.

theres no way to analyze anything beyond speculation.

so you keep a running tally of all (maybe) 75k hands that you've played, and how often you fold preflop in your head? impressive. no wonder you're beating 5/10 so badly.

If you've never experimented then obviously it's hard for you to answer without seeing some stats....

But I'm sure some people here have likely experimented with this....

Have you never seen any winners in the game that are very very loose preflop??

Speculation by some smart posters wouldn't be a waste of time in my opinion...
