TFT Second Test Details

  Below is the first group of hands the tester played in the Loose, Very Passive, short-handed game. Notice how far he had to go in the hole before he started to show a positive return.Hand Number: 9Won or Lost: LostBankroll at start of hand: 3Pocket Cards: Ah AcFish System Rank: AAction: RaisePlayers to Flop: 4 Flop: 2d Js ThAction: one bet to tester, RaisePlayers to Turn: 3 Result: Turn was Ace, testers trips lost to straightBankroll at end of hand: -29Hand Number: 10Won or Lost: WonBankroll at start of hand: -29Pocket Cards: Ah Ad (yes, pocket Aces back to back!)Fish System Rank: AAction: RaisePlayers to Flop: 2 Flop: 4d Kc JhAction: check to tester, BetPlayers to Turn: 2Result: other players folded at testers betBankroll at end of hand: -19Hand Number: 11Won or Lost: WonBankroll at start of hand: -19Pocket Cards: 6d Ks Fish System Rank: Only playable if checking Big BlindAction: CheckPlayers to Flop: 3Flop: 6c Kh 5sAction: two checks to tester, BetPlayers to Turn: 2Result: other player folded when tester betBankroll at end of hand: -8Hand Number:16Won or Lost: WonBankroll at start of hand: -14Pocket Cards: Kc 3cFish System Rank: Only playable if checking Big BlindAction: Check Players to Flop: 2Flop: As Jd 4cAction: CheckPlayers to Turn: 2Result: Checked to River, when tester caught a Flush.

First, it shows how it often takes money to make money, as the tester started off going negative pretty quickly. The odds played out, however, and by the fifth hand he was up fifty bucks. Also, that fifth hand really shows the power of the kicker.  In the part two of the Details more hands are reviewed, and a few observations made, on the effectiveness of the Fish System in this game.
