Re: 10/20 hu hand
my thoughts:
a) It's bad in a vacuum...
but
b) ... we are not in a vacuum, we're playing a HU match which can go on for a while. I do agree with duck that I would not be too worried about being beat on the river so the immideate benefit is getting another T to fold, which it definitely will some % of the time, though probably not that much. But I really like the metagame aspect of this play because knowing that this is the sort of [censored] he'll have to deal with, opponent will become a lot more hesitant to try for thin v-bets and should become more passive in general, which can easily make a major difference as the match progresses. It seems that this aspect is being by and large overlooked, and it's an important one.
