Weekly challenge

Playing from the button -

Wow! This table was ultra nitty to an unrealistic degree. One showdown in 50 hands. Wondering if the challenge was set up that way?

Anyone else notice this?

The weekly challenges are all random hands. They types of hands are all the same (in this case playing from the button), but the actual hands are different. These are not same hands challenges, so you just got a weird distribution of hands.

Hey Allen... thanks for the response.

I should clarify that I did not "zip to end" during the challenge, and saw only one hand went to showdown. A lot of folding pre, as well as to cbets and double barrels. This seemed way more passive than I've ever noticed the bots play (vs me as well as each other). Can't peek at the cards post-hand in the challenge, so no way to tell what was being folded.

I guess my question is whether the table aggressiveness was intentionally set to low this time? Or is the aggro level always set to "standard" for the challenges?

I really thought that for the weekly challenge players played all the same hands. How can you possibly compare the results if people play different hands???

I agree, it would make sense to compare if we all played the same hands but its hard to beat someone who was running hot when you arent getting playable hands. So maybe it should somehow be the same hands that way everyone is on an even playing field.
