I sit at the poker table and decide to play 100 hands. But instead of winning as much as possible, my goal will be to end session with a LOSS which will be as small as possible. So I will aim at the -0,01 $ result. And if I can't achieve the perfect score I'll try to make -0,02 $ or -0,03 $ ... etc.

Question - How often I will make profit with this kind of strategy ?

Side Question - Will my opponents notice (realize) what I'm doing ?

If you that's even smaller lost.

then you want to be playing a roughly break even strategy, no one will notice they will just think you're a shitty reg, you will make a profit around 50% of sessions

EDIT: Now that i think about it more it will probably be more of a losing strategy since in some sessions you will be forced to do something like fold the nuts to end up losing rather than winning

Thanks. Is it possible to make a big profit with it once in a while ?

Very infrequently, every time you start winning you will start doing things like folding Aces pre and such to start losing

Of course the CHECK or FOLD option must be disabled. It would make no sense then.

There is some sort of a cool split between going one way / reading the result the other way. And because opponents can't notice you're using it, some plays (or sessions) could become very profitable. It's great that poker allows such thing to happen.

If there's anyone who can try it on micro stakes, please do - it would be interesting to see the results. And if you get a perfect score (-0,01 $) you will feel much better than you would normally do with this result

You will VERY rarely win as by your last orbit if you are winning you are simply going to blind open such that if called and you lose you will; taking future blinds required in your 100 hands into account, be perfectly on your minimum loss. I doubt anyone will realize your goal but they will figure out you are crazy.

I think you have to look at this strategy as if it was a mini-game. The long run result will depend on how good are you at this mini-game:

1. If you're good at it, the long run result will be close to zero.
2. If you suck, the long run result will be a loss.
3. If you totally suck, the long run result will be a profit.

What IF someone realizes what I'm doing ? What would then happen and how would the game look like ?

You’re welcome to try it out heads up vs me for 100nl+

Haha, I wish I could do that, really - but I can't, I don't play anymore. Let me tell you a short (true) story - about 9 years ago I joined a poker table with Phil Ivey in one of the seats. I said "sup Phil", he responded "sup Gregory" and he immediately left the table. Wanna know why he left ? Because he knew that he'll be punished and humiliated if he stays, even though it was only a play money table. So, you have to remember that I'm one of those players who make the best ones run away and panic

Where would this strategy lead to:

- Every time I want to fold => I CALL or RAISE
- Every time I want to call => I FOLD or RAISE
- Every time I want to bet => I CHECK
- Every time I want to raise => I CALL or FOLD
- Every time I want to check => I BET

Could this be some sort of a solution for a bad poker player who loses a lot of money ?

yes if you're bad and you try this you will almost certaintly crush

If every instinct you have is wrong, then the opposite would have to be right.

Speaking of opposites, look what I've just come up with, I'll try to make a poker game based on this thing:

New term - "Counter-opposite"

The opposite of (2) is (-2), but the counter-opposite of (2) is (6). Here's why:

When we search for the opposite number of "a" we go a certain distance from this number to zero and then we go in the same direction exactly the same distance towards the number "b" which is the result. The opposite of (4) is (-4), the opposite of (-23) is (23) and so on. So we actually go a distance which is twice as big as this number's absolute value. Now, to find the "counter-opposite" of a certain number we also go the "2x" distance but in the opposite direction to get eventually a number which is equal to 3x(a). The counter-opposite of (-5) is (-15) and counter-opposite of (12) is (36). This is so cool ... I just need to find out what's the practical use of this or where does this connect to.
