Test game ran

Grannygrump · 07-11-2005, 12:10 PM

Been reading everyone's bad beat stories and even a few that lucked out on a bad call. I know I have been in lots of situations playing freerolls where it doesn't seem to matter what the heck I have in my hand, I come out on the losing hand to something that I wouldn't have even stayed in with from jumpstreet.

Anyway, I decided to waste a little bit of my time and make a bunch of people furious to test out a theory I had...I played in a freeroll at AP last night, hold em. I went all in the first 5 hands that were dealt no matter what I had in the hole....and I managed to win 4 of them, and the one I didn't I only lost a few hundred dollars, so that wasn't too bad either. I skipped the all in for 5 more hands and played like I always do, called some, folded some, won some, lost some, then I went back to my all in strategy for 5 more hands. This continued on for a couple of hours til I finally lost out........and came in 28th for God's sake. Of course that is no where near any of their minor winnings, but still, on a game that I really was just bs..ing my way through.......

I won all ins on 2,3 unsuited. That's the kind of thing that usually gets me wiped out of a game with my AK or AA on an all in. Go figure. I just did this as an experiment to see what would happen, and I can't figure out how so much in so many hands could go against the odds like that. I know it sure wouldn't happen at a real table game, that's for sure.

Oh, guess I better apologize to anyone on here that I may have played against in that tourney, just in case.....I don't play that kind of poker, this was just a one time thing to see what would happen.

I tell ya that does sound like fun. I will need to try that sometimes. However I play at many differnt sites , and you no several people will get peeved . Think I will try it at Pokerhost, now that I think about it , thats how most the players at Host play .. allin's with crappy hands, and I'm one to call with KK AK .

Yeah, Miss Betty, I did seem to get a few people a little peeved at me, at least I got called a few things in the chat, but oh well, it seems there are alway a bunch of folks who play that way consistently and I just had to find out for myself how well that kind of stupid strategy worked.....
But do try it sometime, and let me know how things turn out.

Fun to read about, although I can appreciate that the people at the table were annoyed.

On the other hand, you have the right to play your cards any way you like, whether experimenting or not. And how many would have felt the same way if you had lost?

If you get mad playing poker you are done. I like when they get mad. Then they have no controll of there game.
