This is specific to zone poker on Bovada, and/or ignition. I've found myself raising and reraising much more often preflop than when I played rush on FTP, where people had huds available. Obviously balance is not important, and each hand needs to be played in a vacuum. The thing is, the vacuum play is often to raise, because opponents are folding so often, as in a vacuum, it's usually correct to fold pre-flop.Also, people play fairly weakly on the flop and turn. I'd be curious to see how many hands go to showdown.

I was giving some thought to the idea of raising a very large range of hands, maybe as many as 50% of them preflop. I was also thinking that it could be theoretically correct to 3-bet a very large percentage of the time. Think about your own play for a moment. If someone has raised, you generally need a decent hand to continue, and even more so if you raise and someone 3-bets you. You're going to assume, correctly in most cases, that your opponents have good hands. Now turn that logic 180. Assume your opponents are going to be folding to a majority of 3-bets. I wouldn't be shocked to learn that it's profitable to 3-bet a very large percentage of hands.

Has anyone crunched any numbers, or explored this concept before? Are there any videos that talk about this? I'm curious to see how an extreme preflop strategy could work on the anonymous zoom tables.
