    Default monkey poker

    I got this strategy from Phil Hellmuths website...for shorthanded play

    bet everytime without looking at your hand until the person either folds or raises.

    so i lost $25 and was down to $5... i decided to go .5/1 and give it a try...

    it worked beatifully... i won $15 in 15 minutes and then went 1/2 with it...

    up to $57 already haha... after 30 minutes


    either a good strategy or really good luck

    Hehe, I like it, seems like it'd be more useful in a live game just to piss people off

    Actually its a very good strategy SH. Bet until the fire back, make them decide what to do. You will will a lot of littel pots that way by making people fold if they dont have anything. This will usually only work for <4 players, and limit too, not so spiffy in NL. But as soon as they show interest in the pot, check your hand, and see if tis still playable. Also factor in the length of time he has been at the table with you and "frustration index" that player may be under. They will get smart and start firing back at you with crap too. Then youg ot fold for a bit, then reraise with crap along with the playable hands. This keeps escalaiting unti lthey snap and run a way broke (or so thats the idea) in fear of the nutcase maniac on table 34532. Also, a good side effect to this is imagine all the PT users that are logging you that don't properly filter SH games out when sitting with you at a Full table, imagine the actuion they will give.

    Thats why I said it work for a short time...

    But you can come back with it after a 5 to 10 hands break...
