Re: Improvisation
i found a long time ago that one of the best ways to pwn 2p2ers(or even other good players trying to get into a pissing contest) at the table is calling down with position and donk betting when OOP.
calling down takes the ego-feeding, dick-swinging bluff and semibluff checkraises out of thier postflop arsenal which frustrates them.
donk betting is a powerful weapon against good players OOP in HU/shorthanded pots. particularly in steal scenarios. it's powerful because well-executed donks can frustrate the crap out of good players trying to maximize their positional advantage. it steals the initiative and puts pressure on them the 2/3 of the time they don't hit the flop.
these plays aren't super fancy or designed to make you feel cool, but in the end you'll usually have more chips in your stack than they do as a result of adjusting in this manner.
