Wow <3 easyway...I actually lost to him playing HU before you sat down which sent me on life tilt...

Me too, running at 36 WSD and 80+ W$@SD for 350 hands helps :/

It makes me wonder how profitable it even is to play a rock like him HU...the main guys I've profited from are overaggressive. It's so boring and annoying to play guys that just limp every button and check/call anything worse than TPTK.

I mean, I'm sure it's profitable but playing 6 max seems moreso.

i used to think this, but that's not the case.

A: You have to adjust your mindset so as not to expect to win a huge amount of money right away...be content with just taking down lots of pots and fold to their occasional reraises.

B: I have a lot of HU experience, and rocks still make dumb plays eventually.

C: A lot of rocks in my experience end up becoming idiots in reraised pots toward the middle of the session (eg- they start making really bad calls preflop) and you can just take it down on the flop. This of course assumes that you reraise often.
