Default Trying new things (and YES its because I'm bored)

Playing a $2 MTT and am moving all in preflop with AA or KK, any other pair I will pay to see the flop if raised 1x blind for 2-9 and 3x blind for 10-Q. ANY other hands are folded preflop and moving in post flop with 2-J ONLY if I flop a set (and fold to any bet if I dont) and moving in post flop with QQ is 3 unders with no straight or flush draw shows, otherwise fold to any bet.

Through the 1st hour and have only seen KK once (everyone folded), NO other pairs and saw the flop free in BB 3 times, winning one of those because it was checked through.

1276 started, 430 left at 1st break and I'm sitting on 1550 chips, I'll keep ya updated

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 55 hands and saw flop:
- 3 out of 6 times while in big blind (50%)
- 0 out of 5 times while in small blind (0%)
- 1 out of 44 times in other positions (2%)
- a total of 4 out of 55 (7%)
Pots won at showdown - 1 of 1 (100%)
Pots won without showdown - 1

LOL that is an absurd strategy, Id love to see how it goes but it will different for different tourneys, one tourney you might hit AA and KK 5 times before the break, but you saw one hand lolol, I doubt any1 will mess with you when you push in. Good Luck Fink

Didn't go well, wasn't expecting to win anything was just trying it out to pass time. I ended up seeing 82 hands and was dealt KK once early and NOT ONE OTHER PAIR the ENTIRE time. Ended up having to break my cycle and make a move (down to 600 chips) so moved in BB with AKs and got rocked by Q9s. Passed the time for an hour and a half on $2 though, can't beat that without winning

1276 people entered and I came in 365th without ever seeing a flop until my last hand of the tourny... I'll try it again in $2's and $3's. If I'd been called the ONE TIME I had KK and won I'd still be playing

Been bored all day, giving it a try.


Almost to the first break, I've had 66 twice, won one checking the entire hand for 75 chips, and the other I folded postflop to a big bet.

Fink, I think your strategy will work only till the first break, maybe a little big longer. After that is impossible, and you shouls play more hands. It is the same strategy i use at 1 and 2 bucks tourneys. Last time after first break i had 3.5k and the time that jones played for me i had 6.5k so It worked for me.

I went in on KK, no calls, pulled the $150 in blinds. There are 466 people left, and I have.. 1, 195 in chips.


I'm gonna change it a little bit, to where I will call preflop on AK-A10 and go in if i hit top pair, no flush/straight draws.
