Hmm, some very good points in the comments to my previous blog entry, and some very, very varied answers from a few thousand hands to basically never.

I might talk a little bit more about this later on, but the reason I started thinking about this during a session a couple of days ago is that I flatted the same player a couple of times from the blinds with the same hand, went to showdown once and then stacked him the third, which is a statistical anomaly in itself, the chances of it occuring astronomical.

I also remembered thinking about this almost a year ago when a player I thought was a HU-reg was chatting and berating another reg about his preflop predictability at a 6-max table and I remember thinking that he doesn't know that these guys aren't paying that much attention to his preflop tendencies as much as his preflop stats and that he´s greatly overrating preflop balance and making substandard plays for balance´s sake in the 6-max atmospehere of those / these days.

Does anybody agree?
