Yugo,

In fact, I do win 70% of heads up matches when the tourney is designed as a heads up match. However, at the end of a SNG or Satt I would say its closer to 50% due to the high blind structure.

Indy,

So your OP is really just a bad beat post? I mean, you can't do too much better than 50% with even stacks HU in full table STTs or Sattelites....it's all contingent on your opponent making mistakes.

Perhaps the issue is that you still expect to win 70% which is unrealistic unless you come into the HU endgame with a ton of chips every time.

I wouldn't say its a bad beat post so much...I just wondered if anyone had recently found a way to confront such an opponent. By the way, is Irie no longer playing on stars or has he just blocked himself from the search so that I cannot harrass him with challenges?

Generally, I agree with what u guys are saying. I've always taken the approach that if I cannot slow this guy down then I must come over top (even with q9 and such) and gamble. However, before doing this I do attempt to determine if this guy will perhaps let me play some poker instead of pushing.

indy,

I have no clue what Irie is playing these days...if I had to guess I'd imagine a few HU here and there but mainly $109s at PP...although a 109 regular would know if that was actually the case or not.

Although I know that bringing new life into this world takes up the majority of his time anyway so it could be that is the reason.

Also, if he blocked himself, it certainly wouldn't be just b/c you keep harrassing him, it would be b/c Skipperbob keeps harrassing him without end.

Well I don't know Irie's s/n to say if I've seen him at the $109s or not. Meh.
