Pelion's 3 hand strategy
Last night I went to the pub with one of my mates. A few hours into the night we bump into some guy from the year below us doing the same course. After a few beers and a few more Alex (my mate) mentions poker to this guy. He says he used to play quite lot but he never got passed very small stakes because everyone plays so badly they are impossible to put on hands etc. etc. etc.
I didnt bother to correct him but it seems like this is a fairly commonly held belief amoung poor poker players.
It got me thinking though and I have decided I want to try an experiment. The rules are as follows.
The Strategy
1) The experiment will be conducted at pokerstars 0.01/0.02 blind tables with an initial buyin of $2 (max buyin is $5)
2) This is Full Ring
3) No matter what the action before me I am going to fold everything but AA,KK, AK and I am going to push AA, KK, AK.
I want a reasonable sample of hands on this (50k+ hands or hopefully more like 100k ) after which I will see if the "strategy" is profitable.
If anyone wants to join me in my quest please 12 table or how ever many you want whilst following the rules above. Then you can email me your stats afterwards.
Even with 50k hands it will be a fairly small sample size so the more the merrier. At the end I will be able to do some math based on standard deviation and winrate and ill be able to work out how likely it is that this system is profitable.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Even if it is profitable I am in no way suggesting people play like this outside of this experiment. It is clearly FAR from optimal and you will make no progress as a poker player.
This is just for my own interest.
