A bit of an experiment
So I decided to donk around a bit with 2 table S&G's on Stars. The real donk ones ($1.20), just to have some fun.
After finishing ITM in my first 3, I decided to see how many I could finish ITM. I am now up to 7 in a row for a 264% ROI....:)
Now I realize that it's not playing optimal to finish ITM, but this experiment sure is fun.
I may just try the Chris Ferguson $0 experiment next....

Get a few forumers to sit in on a cash game with you... no collusion, but play at a stupidly low limit...
Zithal, JohnnieH, and myself played at like .05/.10 NLHE 5-handed max...
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee!

I still like to donk it up at .01/.02 PLO.
That could be fun too.
Let us know how it goes.. my ROR for the 3.40 O8's was like 35% over 150 or so..

Couldn't really recover after that, although I did manage to outlast the idiot.
I've been playing a bit with Sharkscoping the players and it's quite regular to find that I am the only winning player at the final table.
It can be very frustrating to play against these players. One guy was a huge calling station that built up a huge chip lead.
Variance had me grabbing my ankles today. In 10 tourneys today, went out on the bubble in 5th place 6 times and got 3rd place twice.
One donk called off 2/3 his stack with K9 against my 99.
Another calls off 1/2 his stack with an OESD and hit.
Atleast upon review, I am pushing with the best hand.
So far, it's 50 games
ITM 55% ROI 78%
Gonna play till 100 games and end this before I pull what's left of my hair out.
LOL
I am currently plowing through the 1-2 dollar game, getting together 100 BB for 2-4NL...
Had to keep reminding myself...It's only a $1 game....
ITM: 55%
On the bubble or better (78%)
ROI: 42.5%
Was thinking of doing the Chris Ferguson experiment but after this I don't know.
what does this mean : Thanks!
On the Bubble or better (either a cash on knocked out one before the money)
ROI = return on investment.
Any ROI > 0 is a profit
