Re: HU Question
If there are two evenly matched expert players, the one who does not open fold will have an edge, as the other will adjust accordingly.
Against a retard, it won't work, because they will not pay attention. I think this move is best suited if you're playing against paranoid schizophrenics. Your open-folding 2% of the time, will make them think that 75% of the time you check the flop, you will raise if they bet. If you're an orderly in a mental institution, this could be gold.

Online, it's a pain in the ass. Not only do you gain next to nothing, but you have to click YES to "Checking is free, are you sure you want to fold?" every friggin time.

Re: HU Question
Hmmm. You or I am misintrepreting El D's post (and I'm pretty sure it is you).
I took his post as clever comment on the relative skill of the two players involved in the HU match, which were, coincidentally, Schneids and El Diablo.

[/ QUOTE ] Huh? I am not mocking him. I agree w/ him completely and believe the non-open-folder has as large as a 3:1 edge. It would be near-impossible for the open-folder to come out on top in this match unless he is many times better than his opponent.

Re: HU Question
sorry for misunderstanding you then, but i am still confused.
why do you say he needs to be 3 times the opponent to win the match? i dont understand how you arrived at that number and so it seemed like sarcasm to me. openfolding only gives you a small disadvantage in the match, but a disadvantage nonetheless. the magnitude of the disadvantage is of course entirely dependant on how often you openfold. why 3:1?
