Reverse BumHunting: A Guide

Hello, I’ve discovered a new strategy to profitably beat online poker.

In this post BlackFriday environment the games are getting tougher, there are less fish everywhere, as well as smarter regs, so you have to get a little more creative. This is my guide to what I like to call "Reverse BumHunting".

Step 1
Unhide yourself from search and sit down at a micro stakes table, be sure to post your BB and begin opening shoving ATC.

PokerStars - $0.05 NL - Holdem - 6 players

pongi008 (BTN): $9.51
TonnaMunz (SB): $9.72
CajabaTight (BB): $12.50
LiftGrind (UTG): $7.69
matthann (MP): $4.93
karimhk (CO): $5.00

TonnaMunz posts SB $0.02, CajabaTight posts BB $0.05

Pre Flop: (pot: $0.07) LiftGrind has 9 8

LiftGrind raises to $7.69 and is all-in, fold, karimhk calls $5.00 and is all-in, fold, fold, fold

Flop: ($10.07, 2 players) 3 9 4

Turn: ($10.07, 2 players) J

River: ($10.07, 2 players) 7

LiftGrind shows 9 8 (One Pair, Nines) (Pre 49%, Flop 54%, Turn 0%)
karimhk shows 5 5 (Flush, Jack High) (Pre 51%, Flop 46%, Turn 100%)
karimhk wins $9.65

Step 2
Once you start to make an impression on the table, leave and start another slighly higher table and continue you to open shove and/or limp, play terrible, like a fish in general. Make sure to look around and repeat this step until you start to see some familiar faces on your new tables.

Step 3
Once you find that one particular face is following you, continue to move up to new tables, and find out how high they are willing to chase and jesus seat you.

LiftGrind (CO): €200.00
FREDY BULLIT (BTN): €200.00
TonnaMunz (SB): €204.00

Pre Flop: (pot: €3.00) LiftGrind has Q 4

LiftGrind wins €81.75


Step 4

Now you've got them right where you want them, way out of their comfort zone but at stakes you play everyday. Now is when you continue to play your fishy limpy style, but still use your skill set and reads as a solid poker player to destroy the way they are attempting to adjust to you.

A little rungood doesn't hurt. Now look closely to see if you can spot any tilt.
