Kill Phil Experiment (this is long - sorry)

[Reel Deal]

Can you explain the system a bit more? What are you supposed to do with each hand grouping?

[Talking Poker]

I think this is a cool idea for a thread, and will be interested to follow your progress - especially if you play 100+ of these. Will be very interested to see the results of the "system" then.

Its involved - but i will enter it at some point soon.

So, basically the same results. So far, in these two attempts - i have not doubled up once, and i have obviously not sucked out once. Both of those in theory should happen once in a while. Here are my rough notes on this 6th place finish:

2nd hand - i get AA on bb, limper, raiser, caller,
i push...all fold. Nice 200 pot on second hand
early.

One out early first round. Down to 9.

Blinds go up - i hadnt played another hand. I am
4th out of 8.

Blinds go up to 20/40 - have not played another
hand yet. I ma at 1580 - 4th out of 8.

I get AK after a limper - he folds. Have to be
warry of the UTG limper.

I get J10s on SB. UTG limps so rules say to fold
it, i do. I also have to fold 8s to a middle raiser.

Blinds up to 30/60

I get JJ on cutoff - no one in, they all fold. I
am 4th out of 7.

JJ on SB.....there is a middle raiser - i fold it
per the rules. Didnt like doing that.

I have to fold A8s on bb.

Blinds up to 50/100. We still have 8. I am 4th.

I need the 4-6 handed strategy to kick in.

I just fell into middle stack category, barely.

I get 8s on the SB. UTG limper so i call. BB
raises and i dump it.

I am getting low, but we are down to 7. One more
out and i go to 4-6 handed strategy. I get JQs on
SB - all limp to me, i push....tank...pretty big
stack finally folds.

Blinds are up to 75/150. Cut off i have to push
with 2s, i dont like it. They all fold.

We are still at 7 - pretty soon i am going to be
'short'. There are three people pretty low - and
then me.

Finally down to 6. I get AJs. I push from mid
pos and all fold. I get A8 utg next hand and push,
all fold (i didnt like doing that). I am still medium.

A8off on SB....i get called by 8s on the BB after all fold to me. No spiked ace. I am out 6th.

Again - no double-ups. No break on the A8 vs 8s. I think i will try one more tonight and then i am done. I will try to enter the strategies tomorrow or the next day.

Kill Phil strategy is basically to push or fold preflop.

[bdawg31]

Yeah, i didnt come out and mention that. I thought it was sort of known.

Well, in my first big confrontation i get my QQ all-in vs 7s. Naturally i lose that hand as i continue my 2006 well into 2007. I got lucky as a short-stack - but that was meaningless since the QQ hand crippled me. I finished 5th this time. 0-3 in cashes so far.

$10 Sit N Go #3

Blinds go to 15/30 - i didnt play a hand, but i
got a walk and won a small pot with BB when one
limped and no one bet the whole way. We have 9
left - one really low.

About half way thru - we are down to 8. I am at
1530 and in 5th.

I get yet another walk, then have to fold 6s on
the SB to an early raiser. I am 7th out of 8
right now. But there are a lot right around me.

Blinds are up again to 20/40. I am now 'big'
stack. Still 8 left and i am in 7th.

still have not played a hand - down to 7. i am
5th. lose one more player and i can start the 4-6
strategy early.

Blinds up to 30/60 now. 7 left. I am 5th.

Blinds up to 50/100 now. Still 7 left, a couple
barely hanging on. I am getting low.
I get Qs utg - all fold. that is the first pot i
have played i think. and i just got a walk. oh,
Q10off on the SB - my favorite hand - but i have
to fold it.

we are finally down to 6 - i am in 4th. I get QQ
on the button - all fold to me. I push. WOW - sb
calls me with 7s and naturally makes a straight on
the river. i am low now.

I push with A4 and get called by KQ. I win. I
have 1k - blinds are 50/100 still.

CO i push with 6,8s - get called by kings. I GET
LUCKY! and double up! He gets knocked out next
hand. down to 5. i am 4th.
i push UTG with KJo - all fold. I think the all-
in play will have a lot of power at this point.

Sigh - SB i have A2. Fold to me, system says push. I almost dont but do. Run into AK - the guy who sucked out on me with the 7s. I am done in 5th.

Hmmmm...now that i am reading this - i might have been suppose to have folded the A2off there. I read my chart wrong. I hate me, i really, really hate me. I cant even begin to express how much i hate me.

So far, this experiment has not gone too well for Sit N Goes. But, thanks to me being so stupid i cant even read a chart right this one could have ended up entirely different.
