Short HU session vs v.good player
 

Here's a HU session vs a very good player. post your thoughts please. He is very aggressive postflop and can seem like a maniac but he is actually somewhat tight and a very good hand reader.


There were a few hands where I spewed. The bigger question here, though, is to find a very +EV strategy against him. I doubt I am very +EV against him but I don't know.

Yes.

Do you guys play HU ever? Baronzeus' 23o fold was very standard, especially early in the match.

Re: Short HU session vs v.good player
 

You're getting raised a lot. If you call/fold, that is only to encourage more of it. If you call/call most of the time, you're getting 4:6 instead. A good reason not to complete very often.

[/ QUOTE ]

You arn't getting 5:1. You know villain will raise X% of the time, and so if you are forced to fold the weakest of your hands, you don't get to see the flop. Therefore you are only getting 4:1, or whatever the true number is.

Re: Short HU session vs v.good player
 

in response to the 23o dilemna:

lets call the investment you have to make to call preflop X

you need 2:1 to see a flop based on hot and cold preflop equity against a random hand.

because youre getting 5:1 the equity in X is 250%. however, if youre folding every time he raises which i would, your equity when he raises is -100%. even if he raised 67% of the time out of position calling would still be correct based on hot and cold equity. .67(-100%) +.33(250%) = +15.5%. meaning the equity you gain on X is 1.155X

this makes it look like calling is the right play.

this doesnt factor in implied odds however. even though youre in position i think your implied odds with 23o are reverse. its hard to quantify the equity in your implied odds because its theoretical.

i havent read the hand history so i dont have an estimation for how often villain will raise preflop out of position after youve completed, but lets just say its 33%.

he raises 33% of the time meaning that your equity in investing X is .33(-100) + .67(250) +134.5% or 1.345X.

.345X is equivalent to 1/3 of a 1/3 SB, (.11SB). your reverse implied odds in this situation would have to beat greater than .11SB in order for calling to be incorrect.

i would venture to guess that your reverse implied odds are more than -.11SB, if not by a wide margin.

someone may be much better at quantifying the implied odds of this situation then i can however.

Re: Short HU session vs v.good player
 

Q9o hand (below). you 3 bet preflop and autobet flop. would follow through on turn be +EV, or were you afraid of getting bluff raised? or was that a whiffed CR attempt? cause it just seems that by checking the turn you've given up on the hand.

No, this is on AP, his username is "UNEDUCATED"

Re: Short HU session vs v.good player
 

he is giving up on the hand. he got called on a J47 2 hearts board after the 3-bet, the turn is a low third heart, he doesn't have any... you can't expect his opponent to go anywhere for one bet, so cut your losses and give it to him.

Re: Short HU session vs v.good player
 

a couple of these hands have questions, a couple are just comments. Also, viiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiddddddddddddddeoooooooo. HU/Shorthanded videos rule. Need more.

Hand 1


The cap on the flop looks like a bit much. You have 12 outs for sure and maybe more, but it definitly seemed like he has something as I was reading this. Maybe call 3bet, and c/c UI or donk turn (Im torn on whethered Id have the sack to donk here, I dont usually backdown, just seemed strong, unless hes putting another play on u w/ a smaller pair, gutshot, etc) if u improve to a pair. Once u are on the river its pretty big, oui, and he probably doesnt have the 8. Leaves the 5 or the ace or 6s, if hes made...mixed w/ a possible strong draw w/ pair outs he could have. Oui. I hate these situations and usually end up calling being beat.

Hand 3

I was curious, do u think calling this rainbow flop and making a move on the turn would win this pot? I dont think u can win this on the flop, to many gutters/draws possible for him to fold. Even then u may have the best hand. Still its also possible you have 3 outs at best or outkicked. Just curious.

Re: Short HU session vs v.good player
 

I saw a couple spots where you 3 bet the flop instead of calling to trap.

it actually seems like you didnt trap at all - that's the only comment i can make - uneducated plays good and I think he probably made the correct river decision a higher % of the time than most players and I think its because your gear on flop 3 bets didnt change.
