Yeah, I never played HU, but as I recently found out its the tables with 1-2 players that are the most profitable as nitty regs only join 5+ ppl tables.I watched a HU series at Pokerstrategy and armed with my new knowledge I went on cruising NL50 HU tables.


And although I am a total HU fish and have never played it before REGS WILL NOT PLAY ME 7times they just sat out, 3 times after just few hands where I played well, wtf is with this bum hunting at stars? One reg was even berating someone to rebuy before and he sits out after 10 hands wtf.
Well, I either want to play the best out there who are not bumhunting to learn (Primary HU objective for SH table benefit), or just play fish to get some slack ;o



Anyway, I sat with one $49 stack bronze star fish and it was much harder than I expected.
He seemed to be on par with me, playing 65/50/1/40WTSD Without 3bets playing kinda passive with only mild bluffs.


An easy prey for anyone of you HU players, but I had some troubles beating him.


I played about 57/50 with 20% 3bet, 3.70 AF and 67 AFq 40WTSD

Are these somewhat normal stats, or should I make it more open, calling down some more pre?



I must admit that I was really lucky in this match and after some of my (very logical imo)3Barrels didn't work I had to wait for a huge heater to finish him

HU is just fun for me and I will play a game here and there. Its not for me full time really because of the variance and my Tilt issues, but it is a great fun, great for hand reading and awesome for killing out boredom.

NL50 So far:

Run Good+ EZ mode when I mostly 3-6 table depending on how non-standard villains are sitting with me.
I still make some massive retarded spews here and there though, I have to fix that before I can even think of planning to move up, no matter what my BR will be.

I also am love with Supernova and even with my tiny tiny tiny volumes compared to past (I averaged about 107k hands/month last 3 months) the FPP are building up nicely



P.S. If someone still wants some free money by playing me at NL50 HU,in exchange for reviewing the session afterwards on teamspeak/teamviewer feel free to PM me.

Don't bluff retards. Bluff regs once and then play very light for value.

Its extremely unlikely that I can hit more than 10BI downswing if I keep my discipline with the number of tables based on the opponents I met so far.
My biggest enemy are not cards but myself, as I have the tendencies to masstable with accompanied mega tilts rooted deep within me.

I never admitted it, but I was playing like shit, leaking huge amounts of marginal value bets and dead money collections and reads when I was in auto mode.

I expect 4-6bb/100 at NL50 in long term if I stick to 3-6 tables (With 6 I would feel like a gosu ;o)

Thanks for that offer! I would def. go for it with stop loss of like 5BI though if you would go over the hands with me.

You could practically consider it $500 a lesson :D

93% Sure!

Those are good numbers for HU - calling OOP is pretty much unprofitable unless you are willing to c/r flops ultra-light.
