Interesting HU 100-200 hand

[Tosh]

What other hands would you limp with here preflop and how often?

Shawn,

It's obvious that you've rubbed some of the regulars the wrong way with your instructional offer. Nevertheless, I have to say that all of your hand posts so far have been very enlightening to me. I hope you'll keep them coming.

To the others, if it's commonly understood that this guy is a winning 100/200 player (that's what we're hearing), then it's kinda just tough noogies that his offer comes across kind of arrogant, or he doesn't post in proper Bison format. I for one am on these forums to learn to get better, and a winning 100/200 player is a welcome contributor in my book.

I'm guessing you figure him to raise any king any ace and any PP preflop so giving him unlimited freecards cant hurt you.

He wont call a bet with his trash so the only way to get extra money out of him is for him to catch a weaker pair, some kind of draw or as a bluff.

I wish I could make reads this good.

I can catch the heavy sarcasm from about half of you, but others seem serious.

I mean... this IS a joke, right?

[daryn]

yes

chicken i'll play you HU if you want but only up to 15/30. i don't have the bankroll for 100/200. i'm sure you understand, i mean would you want to flip coins with bill gates for $1M/flip?

[sublime]

go get em!

I'd like this play better if it were aces or kings rather than queens. Were you intending to limp-reraise?

I've watched this game a ton lately and the PF SB complete has meant strength more often than not. It is such a rare play in that game and it looks mighty suspicious. Do you think your opponent picked up on this? Had you been just calling with your marginal SB hands up to this point as well?

[Shawn Keller]

I mix my play up very well, making very hard to discern from my headsup preflop actions (if I limp or raise) what the quality of my hand is in any given senario. My opponent checked because he had a very weak hand 83o, I think that was the most important factor to him in terms of his passive play.

QQ maybe I open raise 70% of the time in the small blind headsup against the big blind, If I limped and my opponent raised I would "probably" threebet but its not really essential against a lot of these opponents since some of them virtually always bet the flop if they raised preflop and u check to them. So if you don't sandbag preflop you have the option of checkraising the flop/turn.

Best of Luck!

Nice! Looks like a HU challenge about to go down.

When's it gonna happen boys?
