Re: I didn\'t drown yet
Homer,
This is a very good comparison you have presented. It does however depend on the player being disciplined enough to follow basic strategy and bet the minimum every hand. As you point out, a...

Re: Check-raising HU as a bluff
These are all legitimate plays if not overdone, although I would generally like to have some possible out instead of complete garbage. For example, the flop comes AK6 and I have 78 and am 3-suited....

Re: heads-up flush draw
Hi serling,
Of course you could have played it that way, but if I am him I am not folding 89 there. Additionally, since he could be on a flush draw I would consider calling at the river even if he...

Re: heads-up flush draw
I am just calling here. The fact that he check-raised the flop instead of waiting gives me hope that he is either on a draw or has a hand like 89 and not aces. I would call him down at the river most...

Re: Limping HU
Hi Stone,
I don't think we have any substantial disagreement on this, especially when the BB is the button. I don't like the structure of those games however and I suspect that sites offering that...

Re: Limping HU
Hi Stoneage,
Perhaps I misunderstood your premise. If a player ALWAYS calls a raise, meaning he plays every hand no matter what his holdings, then of course you should limp with some frequency. I...

Re: Limping HU
I think it is questionable strategy to give your opponent a free card that can beat you on a hand they otherwise might have folded. Not to mention that on average you are creating a smaller pot on a...
