    You can win nearly every hand, ironically with the exception of some of the decent starting hands like AQ QQ JJ.

    Examples of daft shit you can do to maximise profit:

    * You can raise pre-flop in some really stupid spots, to build the pot when you 'know' you are gonna make the best hand by the river. E.g. you should min-raise 66 (around hand #8) pre-flop, and similarly (around halfway through the test) you can min-3-bet 97s. Near the end of the test, you can raise to $14 OOP with your 73o, which still keeps the key villain in the pot!!

    * 73o flopped boat - you can stack the guy if you raise to make it $14 pre, make a small bet on the flop then size your bet correctly on the turn.

    * T5o, blind on blind - you can induce a 3-bet then get him to bluff off most of his stack post-flop. He bets flop, you float OOP then make a weak donk-lead on the turn to build the pot, then check-jam the river. If you've got the bet sizes right he folds his King-high with $28 behind!

    * There are at least 2 other hands where it seems you make the most money by inducing bluffs, then floating or rebluffing.

    * As you've probably noticed, you can win some hands pre by over-jamming and inducing the villain to fold the best hand, in spots where I don't think you can win post-flop.

    * There's a guy (at the top-right I think?) who spews in several hands. E.g. you can get him to 3-bet TT over your 52o, but he folds to a shove. Obviously the key to maximising your profit in this and similar hands is making your opening bet as large as possible. Likewise a guy opens AK but insanely folds to any 3-bet (when you have 96o). He even folds to a min-3-bet, when he has position. WTF!

    * There are at least 3 hands where I think you make the most by limping pre rather than isolating. 87s and KQo spring to mind.

    * You may have noticed some quirks of the artificial intelligence... e.g. there are several hands where the villain will fold to a shove, but he WILL call if you bet an amount that leaves him with just $1.


    Check-raise flop to $31. Check-raise turn to $115. Value-bet river $43. This way you take him for *nearly* his whole stack. I can't get the tight-arse to hand over his last $3!


    You can take down that hand with QQ vs the Pro's AA. Just limp in with QQ. Check/Call his bet on the flop. Check/Jam his bet on the turn, he'll fold the AA :)

    Ya I don't recommend playing cash games immediately following a few runs at full exploitation of this test. When I first got to the Sands last night the first few orbits were spent fighting the thought that every hand can and should be a winner haha.
