5. How often do you 2nd barrell and when?

5.) I double barrel in three situations. First, when a player c/c when I know he plays his big hands with a c/r. Second, when a scare card like a K or A comes on the turn. Third, when I know the villain is a floater. I use my HUD a lot for determining if the situation is good to double barrel.

Would you be able to elaborate on using HUD to determine whether the situation is good to double barrel?

Another question I have - after playing 50c/$1 for so long, and moving up fast, how did you adjust to the differing nature of the higher games? For example, how did you improve in reraised pots after probably having little experience of them at 100NL?

Thanks, much appreciated.

ikes, congrats on your success.

toughest opponents?

[/ QUOTE ]

worse downswing is 10k in one night. I quit in frustration. I booted it back up and played until 4am (late for me, i had practice at 7:30) until I was stuck only 2k.

I play mainly on absolute b/c its where I'm most comfortable. But i've played on stars and ub, you might catch me losing money in omahahahaha on FTP...

Toughest opponents....
FRANKYBONES - nit pf, crazy agg postflop, I've made some really bad decisions against him
CASH369 - pretty goo semilag
PWHAP - got me to make a couple of retarded bluffs
Nerdling - one of the most dangerous players I consistently play against

also, 2-2 wings, f san jose, how the hell do they even play hockey?

theres a state for folding to cbet and raising cbet. If they never fold to a cbet and check twice, double barrel. if they raise cbets a lot, fire a second one on the turn... they prob would have raised if they had something on the flop.

i think people call 3bets way, way too much. If you start 3betting me a lot I won't start calling you wide. I'll tighten up a little bit and take adv in position when I can.


i threebet OOP prob less than most players at my level (AQ+, 88+), but my reputation is normally so bad by then that people don't give me credit for anything. Playing loose in position is >>> 3betting light to me.
