I have not posted at 2+2 for some years. My password got lost and I do not want to use my previous username because it will reveal my identity.

Unguarded told me that he posted the 55-hand here. I consider myself as the best 1-2 fix limit holdem player at AP. I have crushed the game the last 17 months.

I think Unguarded played A9 fine and it was quite hard to put me on presto. The main reason I limp-reraised 55 was because it was Unguarded who raised preflop and he is a good player. AP is a quite small site and against the good regulars you just do a lot of things and of course, I did not want to slowplay my monster to reveal my hand. Quite obvious?

Anyway, I think this thread lack in the understanding of how intuitive and complex shorthanded games are even at a very low limit as 1-2. As some contributors assume that I had a big pocket pair is just one big mistake. In this spot I could actually have a lot of hands, which should be obvious given the information of me as an somewhat over-aggro and tricky player. If you lack in this both dimensions, then you can't win much in shorthanded games. I would like to point out the intuitive aspect. I do not use pokertracker and I do not consider shorthanded limit holdem as a very mathematical game. When you are a beginner you probably need to play a rigid style. If you want to make a good living, you just go with your intuition and do not for a moment think that you can play perfect every hand or put your opponent on exact right holding. I think it was Chip Reese who said it in Supersystem. The mathematical right play is not always the correct play.
