Considering how few hands you've played high-stakes HU, what made you think, "Well, time to multi-table 3/6 vs. sbrugby and Ivey!"

My mentality has always been, if I'm gonna play the high stakes I will play almost anyone, and it has worked out in the past. I didn't play Ivey HU, but I'd have rather played him than Aba. Most of my tables were HU vs jinsokkp, who I think I still ended up on, and who I've beaten very badly in the past at 100-200- although he is a very tough player. Anyway I only played Aba 2 tables, and I've beaten him in all previous sessions.

I'm also of the opinion that Aba has a pretty startling preflop tendency (I'm not gonna say leak, cuz its Aba)- he open folds the button SO MUCH. He must be incredibly skilled postflop to get away with that, but I can't conceive of folding the button as much as he does regularly at high stakes HU. I don't know of a single other winning HSNL HU player who plays under 70% of their hands on the button, let alone 2/3.

Yeah, I wasn't questioning your ability, as I have no idea who you are (although you seem dangerously results-oriented)...I was just wondering what it was about 04/14/07 that led to suddenly challenging aba? Why not last Thursday? Or today?
