two hand wonging

[steve]

I read an article a few years ago, not sure where I saw it, that discussed two hand wonging. Its premise was basically this: figure out your bet at TC = 2 based on your expectation and bankroll, then multiply that bet by 1.3 and divide that by 2 to get your per hand bet size with TC = 2, for any TC < 2, bet one hand of table minimum. The assumption was that you would play at a table where the table minimum would be significantly less than your optimal bet size at TC = 2.

Let's say you determine that your optimal bet size is $25 at a TC = 2, with two hands you can bet 30% more than that without increasing risk, round this off to $30, now play two hands of $15. For TC > 2 bet ((optimal bet size X (TC -1)) X 1.3) / 2 on each of two hands. For TC < 2 bet $5 (table minimum).

I used this approach a few times and I liked it because one of the things i hated about Wonging was constantly being on the prowl for a "good game", I liked being able to sit at one table and play without interruption.

Is anyone familiar with this approach?

Fairly standard, we won't need to go private with this - you can actually use +50%/2 - or for 3hands nearly +90%/3 - but the main detirminant for #hands played should take into account the #others in play. zg
