Tough River spot with a straight HU vs. easyway777

[KRANTZ]

this is a very easy fold against easyway

[jsnipes28]

ya def an easy fold against him. he doenst really bluff v much but def calls down w/ any piece. he also loves to c/r bluff paired flops. if i wasnt so tired last night i woulda played him forever

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

I fold this really fast. Btw, a line he often takes is raise or c/r bluff the turn and then shut down on the river, I have never seen him fire two barrels on a bluff. I also don't think I've ever seen him cbet w/o a hand. He did c/r the river for value vs. me one time, so I guess he's capable of SOME "moves."

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.

Alright I called he had the nuts.

This was only like 15-20 hands so I wasn't really sure how he played.

FWIW I was really tired and dropped 2.5 buyins to him as a combination of him running super hot and me playing bad because I hadn't slept for like 20 hours. Well next time.

[Eagles]

Sigh right now am I really bitter not giving any results on specific hands but I played him on 2 tables when I was really tired and played like [censored] and lost like 2.5 buyins. It also didn't help that he ran super hot.

Go_Blue,
Well, another main problem is that they often buy in for like $240 or some [censored] like that so it not only takes forever to bust them, you don't win much when you do.
Yah, I reraise light a ton vs them as well, but like I said, it's particularly annoying when they limp the button and you just have to jab at the really tiny pots. I can never get a good flow going when every other hand is a 2 BB pot.
