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 · #17 02-12-2007, 02:21 PM

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.

Not sure I'd qualify him as a rock:
