Default Re: HU Royal Hold\'em against a madam

I haven't played that much royal (and I suck, apparantly, compared to everyone elses amazing results [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]), but this is how I would approach the situation:

PREFLOP: I would definately be raising anything with decent equity, e.g. top 40 or 50% of hands, AQ, QQ, KQ etc. and up. I would probably be folding JT etc. Re-raise even more when you have position.

POSTFLOP: I would want to be getting to showdonw as much as possible, I think even a straight is going to be good often enough. If he is making continuation bets right through the hand, just let him bluff at you when you have something show-downable. Just make sure the guy pays when you have trips or better.

It's HU poker, so the variance is going to be big, I'm thinking the guy was probably running good, but are you sure you weren't folding to many winners?
