The Pokertrev Challenge - Playing With a Short Deck

POKERTREVPOKERTREV Member Posts: 9,607
edited March 2010 in Poker Chat
During the day Today I have set myself a new challenge

I will be playing low stake DYMs with a short deck (What do You Mean?) I hear you ask.

Well, I am going to see how many hands and DYM games I can win with four cards missing from my playing range J, Q, K, A. So I will be folding every hand which contains even one of these four cards. So my optimal playing hands will be suited & connecting cards.

I will post my results a I go - Wish me Luck.

How many games do you think I can win without using the  J, Q, K or A?

    OK - What have we learnt so far?

    1. This is a ridiculous challenge
    2. Poket Pairs below 10 should not be highly rated
    3. If you go All-in with pocket pairs pre-flop you are gonna get called with K7 off suit

    Ok - Gonna give it one more shot - wish me luck

    lol trev!!!!

    Why dont u try it the other way round, Dont play hands with any cards in it 9 or below.

    Could be a good learning tool to teach newbies hand selection. Patent it and sell the rights to AJS to use in his poker workshops.

    Well it ends in disaster - Can't say I didn't try lol

    I did win a few hands but sadly this method is a big NO NO - So now I'm off to play some proper poker - see you all in the orfordable deepy tonight and maybe the 8.15 deepstack aswell.

    Official Result : JQKA 5 - Pokertrev 0
