Under The Gun -- How To Treat A Lady with Kara Scott and Maria Mayrinck

I think it's important to note that these two women were not raised in the United States, and therefore their views on men are substantially different then the morally corrupt women of America.

Did they corrupt themselves?

Let's look at the idiot hand first. You called an early raise with KJ in the Blind. No problem there. He could have an underpair and you are racing. You flop big and put in a check-raise to see if you are ahead. Boom! 3-bet. Now what?

After the 3-bet, you are losing to AA, KK, JJ, and AK – all hands that make sense. You are also losing to QTs and AJs – hands that are possible but the QTs early raise doesn't make sense and the AJs 3-bet doesn't make sense. After the 3-bet, what hands do you hope to be beating? AQ? ATs? A bluff by a small pair? You said KQs made sense, but that makes one solid hand you beat weighed against 4 solid hands that beat you. Outplaying people post flop is great, but to demonstrate that you are, you have to fold after the re-raise.

Your play was fine until the reraise.

Jon will play 50k hands a month and win his $8k plus. Let's apply the Poker Profit equation to test for reasonability.

Profit = Hands/100 x win-rate in dollars/100

$8,000 = 50,000/100 x ?/100

Jon must win $16 for every 100 hands he plays. If he plays 2/4, this is 2 big bets per hundred. That's doable. Not easy, but doable with coaches who have proven their ability to win at this rate.

If he plays only 1/2, that same $16 a hundred becomes 4 big bets per hundred. That won't happen.

Inside the first few weeks of learning about this challenge, I posted that Jon would never take $100k off the 1/2 tables playing 6 tables. I said he would have to play over 800k hands and win 3BB/100. I doubted he could put in the hours or win at the required rate. Eventually, I was called a Hater.

No hate. Just truth. Since this is a learning experience, we've now learned that Jon only wants to play 50k hands a month and he's moving up to 2/4.

Therefore, Jon cannot put in the required hours nor win at a rate high enough to win $2k a week on UB's 1/2 tables – EXACTLY WHAT I WROTE TEN WEEKS AGO!

Running weekly totals are: -2700 + 1500 - 1500 + 1100 + 0 - 500 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 800 + 1800 + 200 = +700

14 weeks are now gone. Jon must now win $99,300 in 38 weeks – $2,613 a week.

I finally figured out why Who Yaw thinks it so impossible to win. He has played about 1.5 million hands, and has a total profit of about $0.30 cents per hour. He is literally the tightest scardest player at the 1-2 full ring tables, and only bets 'pot' for fear of getting sucked out on.

Ladies and gentlemen, please use Who Yaw as a perfect example of how not to play. I honestly wonder why he still plays, being that he would make 10x his win rate by working at McDonalds.

Now it all makes sense!
