Finally . . . A win HU
Today I broke my string for most times failing to finish first after getting to HU play. Before today, I had finished second each of the last 13 times I had made it to the final two. Didn't matter if I had the lead or if I got all my money in the pot with an edge. It didn't seem to matter how I play. I always found a way to lose.
But today, I finally broke the streak. Got all-in w/A2 vs QJ. Even then, I had to sweat it as my opponent flopped a J, and I had to wait until the river, the sweet river, to hit my Ace. Man, that streak killed---just killed---my ROI.

Man, that streak killed---just killed---my ROI. [/ QUOTE ] It sure does. I had a streak like that recently where I'd get HU and lose...almost every time. It didn't matter what I did. My ROI went through the floor and hit rock bottom somewhere around -18%. That was fun. My finish distribution was somewhere around: 1st - 5% 2nd - 17% 3rd - 15% I wanted to put my fist through my monitor. Anyways, good job on breaking the streak!

1:8192 he loses 13 "coinflips" in a row [/ QUOTE ] Sad to say, but all my losses were not coin flips. I was even losing some dominating situations. But that's poker. Plus, I had my fair share of suck-outs getting to HU. Just not after that. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Finally . . . A win HU
Right, well, I think the chances of losing 13 HU matches in a row is less than 1:8192. When going in with high blinds (especially as big stack), pushing any two is correct. Say you push 62o and get called by AKo. Obviously not a coinflip, but 62o may still be correct to push.
