Kill Phil Experiment (this is long - sorry)

[Boobie Lover]

Kill Phil strategy is basically to push or fold preflop.

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.

is this a book or what? It seems interesting to say the least...

I might try something like this for a smaller dollar amount.

Yeah, its a book "Kill Phil". It was an interesting read if for anything else to see the power of aggression.
