AA experiment

[rapples]

Right this is what I'm going to do:-
PP $25 NL tables.
Play first hand aggressively as though I have AA.
Win or lose and leave table.
Do this for ten tables.

Do you think I'll be up or down after the ten tables?

[Iconoclastic]

I'd say down a little bit.

Down, no doubt. On almost every table, someone will have a weird hand that they just cant let go. You will have to risk alot to win the blinds and other preflop calls, so your "risk v return" will be very negative.

Can I sit at the table when you do this?

Isn't PP infamous for people going AI with junk on the first hand in tournies? I would imagine you would more callers than you would like if you were to represent AA. Are you talking about taking it AI each time if it came to that? I don't think I could go on with that experiment after my AA got outdrawn by a 72o

When a new person joins a table you are playing, how much respect do you accord his/her raises?

The First Time: I will give him the benefit of the doubt.

depending on teh outcome/his cards

then the Second Time: Call, but fold if you flopped nothing.

depending on the outcome/his cards

then the third time (all within a reasonable amount of time): more likely to reraise and put him on the defensive.

Sometimes players will bet as long as no one raises them, then once someone raises them they check/fold. They do this in any position and its relatively easy to spot.

at poker stars, i think that this would be slightly profitable.

at PP, you're getting calls.

IMHO - the bulk of the players at the PP $25 NL tables are very unobservant.

At 6-max you will probably be up, though I'd have to think you'd be way down doing this in a ring game, unless you catch some cards. A lot of it depends on if someone plays back at you, will you still be pretending you have AA?
