Re: Liveblogging a HU match.
I'll post a more complete hand history later, but some quick stats that might be of interest:
T: raised 40 times (67%) from the button, folded 20 times (33%).
G: raised 31 times (52%) from the button, folded 29 times (48%).
(No limping!)
In the big blind vs. a raise:
T: folded 14 times (45%), called 12 times (39%), reraised 5 times (16%).
G: folded 20 times (50%), called 16 times (40%), reraised 4 times (10%).
T's HU aggression shows here, I think.
I think my defending percentage is about where it should be against an aggressive raiser. Consistently defending less often than 50% is bad in a 1-chip/2-chip game like we were playing... do you see why?
Exercise 1: Work out how often you should defend in a 1-chip/3-chip game.
Exercise 2: Given an opponent (T) who defends 55% of the time, what percentage of the time should Hero (G) be raising the first round?
