HU MicroStakes.
Since all the cool kids are doing it, I've been playing NL. However, I'm not very good, so I've been sticking to the micro limits, playing SH/HU to try and improve.
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (2 handed) converter Button ($27.65) NLHENeophyte ($35.55) Preflop: NLHENeophyte is BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. Button posts a blind of $0.25. <font color="#CC3333">NLHENeophyte raises to $0.5</font>, Button (poster) calls $0.25. Flop: ($1) Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">NLHENeophyte bets $1</font>, Button calls $1. Turn: ($3) J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">NLHENeophyte bets $1</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to $2</font>, <font color="#CC3333">NLHENeophyte raises to $5</font>, Button calls $3. River: ($13) 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> NLHENeophyte checks, <font color="#CC3333">Button bets $21.15 (All-In)</font>, NLHENeophyte calls $21.15. Final Pot: $55.30 |

Re: HU MicroStakes.
Raise bigger pre-flop.
Decent flop bet. Bet bigger on turn. He probably won't raise, and if he does push. I bet the river, 10$..if he pushes...at this limit...I probably still call. Since it's a poster..he prolly had a flush. But you let him get there by betting small on the turn |

Re: HU MicroStakes.
Also.
I think it is MUCH easier to learn to play NL at a full 10 handed game than it is short handed. That is my opinion though. Short handed is alot more read dependant and way less odds dependant. |

Re: HU MicroStakes.
I'm sorry. I should post reads. We have been HU for about 20 minutes, whittling away our respective stacks. He is more aggressive then me. The river check was to induce a bluff.
Thanks for the comments PF---I really should be raising more frequently to get action. I most definitely called in a heartbeat. |

Re: HU MicroStakes.
I am playing SH/HU precisely to practice my hand reading skills. I am a reasonably competent limit player, and I find that fullhanded SS/ML NL games play like a limit game where I get to nutpedal. I am comfortable with calculating odds, and I'm trying to learn hand-
