    How can anyone play a sit-n-go / tourney or any online poker "blind"?

    I am not questioning if she did it or not, but wouldn't she automatically see the cards when they were delt? Is there some button you can click to keep your cards face down?

    The girl is an amazing player no matter if she played it 100% blind or not. But In all my life I have never heard of someone playing an online game "in the blind".

    I don't understand the reason for all these fucking posts saying that she didn't play it blind or whatever. If you don't believe it, that is up to you, but Annette_15 is trying to contribute something to the community especially for all the micro grinders like yourself, so make the most of it and use the hand history that she has taken the time to provide. If you want to believe that she looked at her cards, I am sure the hand history will still come in useful.

    Either way just make the most of these pros actually providing free information and contributing to this forum.

    Well said apathy. This technique even goes back to Doyle's old books saying to put a piece of tape over your hole cards and to try playing blind at least once at a level that you can easily afford.

    Annette did this perfectly as an experiment and wound up taking it down and we are lucky enough that she shared the hand history with us.

    By the way, why is it so hard to believe that a top ranked pro with a bankroll the size of god knows what, tries doing this on a $4.40 sng??

    GG Annette, thanks for sharing.

    I think what Will is trying to say is he's not just blind-curious, he's also bi-curious....

    I have no idea why this board is becoming a place where every thread gets flamed for one reason or another, there are quite a few monkey tilting jackholes spewing hate in every message.

    Annette has nothing to prove to anyone, much less playing a $4.40 180 SNG. She is trying to illustrate that by observing betting patterns and using position, it doesn't matter what your cards are most of time. If people would just stop and think, they actually might learn something for a change.

    We should be grateful when sucessful players are contributing to the community instead of flaming every post and wondering whether she played blind or not.......I'm sure she has much better things to do instead of playing a $4.40 tourney.....and impressing hating donkey P5er's is not one of them

    Now, please end this thread.....
