he called all in with K6s and ht a 6 to win?
btw, I played 5 x $5 heads up and moved all in every hand to test the theory about winning 40% of the time etc. I actually lost all 5, but the interesting thing was watching them adapt, how quickly or slowly they did.
*****************************************************************************************
26th of March '05, heads up experiment
I wanted to see what would happen if I went all in EVERY hand. See how the opponents reacted, see how often I won etc. So I played 5 heads up games, buy in $5 +0.25, starting chips 1500, starting blinds 10/20.
Game 1.……..he folded the first 8 hands then called with A5 against my Q7, down to 320 chips, a few hands later he called my K6 with Q4, I doubled up, then he called my K8 with A8 and put me out. Played 14 hands, won 11 without showdown and won 1 of 3 showdowns.
Game 2.…….hand 3 he called with A7 against my K7, I was down to 60 chips, next hand he raised all in with J3, my 83 was no good… out. Played 4 hands, won 2 without showdown and won 0 of 2 showdowns.
Game 3.…….this guy waited until hand 10, he had K9s, I had 64...I hit a straight on the turn, he flushed on the river, down to 360 chips, next hand he called my AJ with K2 and I won, up to 720, next hand, my QJ lost to KQ, out…..Played 12 hands, won 9 without showdown, and won 1 of 3 showdowns.
Game 4.……..7th hand he picked up QQ, my J4 struggled, 220 chips left, next hand he raised all in with J6, I had A6, he hit a jack and put me out…..Played 8 hands, won 6 without showdown and won 0 of 2 showdowns.
Game 5.…….hand 5 he calls my Q6 with A7 and beats me, down to 140 chips, 4 hands later he calls my A3 with Q7 and puts me out……Played 9 hands, won 7 without showdown and won 0 of 2 showdowns.
Played 5 won 0 lost 5
Well my first thoughts……..I won’t be trying that again! Interesting though if you look at what happened. The first hand they play is of course before I was short and if they lose they are out, so how long do they wait, what do they call with?…..they made their first call after 3,5,7,9,10 hands, and called with QQ,A7,A7,K9s,A5.…..so once they realise what is happening, any ace will do, and K9s looks pretty hot too against a guy going all in every hand……I was behind every time but to lose all 5 was still a surprise, ok now what about once I was short AND they knew what I was up to………these are the hands that called me…..Q4,A8,J3,K2,KQ,J6,Q7.…….so you see how they have lowered their starting requirements to any face card……now I understand that I was poor and they were not having much fun but it highlights an interesting point don‘t you think……of the 7 hands, I was ahead 4 times and won only 2, opponent was ahead 3 times and won all 3.…..now earlier, when it was their first call, they took more care and I was behind 5 out of 5, but now I’m short, I am ahead 4 of 7!…….although this sounds crazy, I was quite unlucky……….total showdowns…….I was behind 8 times and lost all 8, I was ahead 4 times and won 2 lost 2.……….interestingly I was ahead 1 in 3 times, and they got to choose! And did anyone say anything to me? I said nothing, and I never showed my cards………only one guy spoke, it was game 4.….as his jack came on the flop and I was going out, he typed ‘bye!’
Well it was fun but I won’t be doing it again, I’d be interested to see if it was any different at the higher buy ins……..but I think that will have to wait………..
