This one's for any of you here who play fairly well...

most of the time but go crazy in blind vs. blind situations. I'm no expert on HU play but please for your own good...

1) Don't 3 bet my SB raise from the BB with 75o. You're not ahead.

2) Don't cap a KT8 flop with A2. You're not ahead.

3) Don't bluff raise me on the turn after making mistakes #1 and #2 above. You made the pot huge and I'm not folding.

4) Don't smoothcall or slowplay your AA after I've seen you consistently make mistakes #1, #2, and #3 above. You are ahead. And I will call. I have to. I've seen you bluff your junk hands the last 21 times because you think it's somehow degrading or demeaning to you as an individual to have to lower yourself to folding or calling.

I don't know who you are. But there are certainly a lot of you out there. And you're losing too much in these situations. It's OK to just call with that very weak pair or decent ace...or even fold that 7 high [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]. It's OK to bet or raise your good hands. It's OK to bluff OCCASIONALLY. But occasionally is not to be interpreted as 21/22 times.

I thank you. My wife, who loves to shop, thanks you as well. But really, it's not necessary. There are enough bad players out there that we don't need to get into a HU pissing match with each other every time your hand is suited, remotely connected, or adds up to 14.

Have a good day. Play well.
