HU Question

[waffle]

I routinely use the auto-bet button that bets if checked to, but does nothing if bet into. I never use the auto bet/raise button.

I am always afraid to use the button that bets if checked to because if while I'm clicking it someone else bets it turns into the raise button and I accidentally raise! Do you have any advice on how to avoid this?

Play on Stars where they cleverly designed this button to be located just above the raise button, so this situation never happens. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Party's software team didn't foresee this, so there's no good solution there.

I have one, but I don't think the connection is the problem. I think it is the speed of my finger and or my brain. This happens when someone else bets while I'm clicking my mouse and by the time I complete the click the button has turned into a raise button. Not using this button isn't a big deal, really, but it would get me a few more hands per hour I think because after raising preflop I wouldn't have to wait on the action to get to me to autobet when I wanted to.
Any other suggestions?

Thanks,

The problem is, you're giving the opponent correct information.

You clearly need to be able to utilize the bluff openfold for this strategy to have value.

Yes.

Click on the highest part of the bet button. This way if it changes to raise, your mouse will be slightly above the raise button and if you click late, you'll whiff.

If you have taken a couple of beats, it may look like you are tilting, so you probably get more action, but less folding equity, so if you allready doesn´t have much of that with the guy, then it may be worth trying.

i like the idea of doing it after youve lost a big pot to him or a few good pots in a row. hell probably think you just went on tilt. its a good image ploy but in game sense i think its clearly -ev. you want free cards when you check, but hes only giving them to you because he knows the value of your hand is greater than a normal flop check. thats certainly not a good thing.

FWIW Diablo did this like 5 times in about 80 hands of HU vs me this morning.
