Fun With Ultimate Bet

I've been datamining Ultimate Bet lately, because like Party, you can use Ultimate History and observe tables while downloading hand histories. So it can be said that I have a good book on more than a few players who play there on my limits. I've run in to 3 players who have the oddest stats I've ever seen, and could warrant a new note-tag: GFACGFAR. Good-For-A-Call-Good-For-A-Raise. These 3 players (in around a 100 hands each, small sample I know, but this is significant) have VP$IP numbers that are identical to their PFR numbers. Every time they are putting money into the pot, it's with a raise. A new breed of maniac? I played a guy who I had 150 or so hands on. His VP$IP was a semi-loose 34%. His PFR? 34%. He never called pre-flop, only raised. He would also re-raise. With junk. K8o, any ace. It was almost funny to watch. So, this morning, I play a little more, pop the GT+ window up, and at my table, what do I see? A player with 120 hands played, with almost identical stats! I played until the table got short, about half an hour, won my 9BB, then moved on to another table. And what to my wondering eyes should appear but a fancy new table, with another player with >100 hands whose VP$IP=PFR.

Funny thing is these three guys bleed money like the US government in a hardware store. They win just enough to stay in the game and keep them coming back, but they lose a ton. They'll chase, too, since they're so pot committed that they almost have no choice but to chase a marginal hand. It's amusing to watch, especially when you hit the flop and he misses.

You know, if Full Tilt had Poker Tracker compatibility, I might play there more...HDub, ya think you could get that kicking?

Does anybody have a great set of auto-rate rules for PTO?

And last, but most certainly not least--I am so happy to hear Felicia's good news. You're a strong woman, and the fact that you've overcome so much already is a testament to that. Continued good health, and hopefully we'll see you at a table kick our asses at Razz real soon.
