yvesaint · #1 11-21-2005, 05:48 AM

late night on stars, got to playing a HU match with another guy, he seems pretty decent .... i really wanted to play HU and learn more, so im willing to risk losing 2k just to learn

here are some keynote hands (note not all are 500 BBs ... at one point we agreed to rebuy up there)

i ended up the end of the match 800 behind, but i really liked the experience. i also learned i pay off like an ATM machine (example: last hand)

any comments?

edit: i had to edit one of the hands to not show results, its the one where i folded KhJh

This hand, more so than others, allows you to fold the river with your pair o Kings. Villain is beating 1 pr (or completely missed [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img])

if you want to learn how to play HU, dont play on pstars. Well, learn on pstars, just realize you'll have to relearn everything.

well obviously HU is very different for every opponent ...where would you suggest i learn HU? prima? from what ive tried at prima, there are a lot of tough opponents there (at their HU table)

im also playing stars though because i could get real deep - there was actually a 3rd guy that wanted to play 3-handed with 2k stacks but he went to bed

chuddo · #6 11-21-2005, 06:06 AM

ty for posting these, a series of deep hu hands is sweet to read.

you should post more in the same format, but leave off the last action and results. i would have been 8/8 in handreading these and would have liked to patted myself on the back and felt smug.

No. Still should've folded the kings tho.
