Is is really that easy?
When I started to play the HU turbos I tried to outplay my opponents. 3 barrel with nothing, slowplaying, bet flop and check turn with toppair, checkraise bluff the turn.
I had only marginal results. Still 61% winrate from 11.5-34$ turbos but nothing to be proud of. Then I encountered that I am suffering from a disease: The fancy play syndrome or FPS for the scientists [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] But I found the cure: Its a pill from the pharmaceutical company VB. VB stands for Value Betting! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Since I take this pill before playing the first HU SNG my results are surprisingly good! It is really that easy? slimbob |

Re: Is is really that easy?
for you it coulda been
leave those moves for occasional use, theres no bonus for outplaying your opponent. |

against players at the lower limits you don't need to be too
tricky. Value betting at these limits will in fact be your bread and butter. |

Re: Is is really that easy?
I still pull tricky moves at those limits, but they typically aren't bluffs, they are instead weird value bets of which lower limit players get suspicious. For example today I bet the flop the pot with a pair but it wasn't that strong, so I checked the turn and he checked behind. Now he's shown a lot of weakness so I represent a bluff by betting the full pot on the river and he ends up calling me with A high. This happens a lot at the lower levels, because if a weaker player represents weakness he expects someone to act accordingly.
PS I'm pretty drunk so that might have been a ramble, I'll check it out tomorrow. |

Re: Is is really that easy?
I find I have a higher win rate playing $100hu matches and up. I play a TON of $5-20 matches bc half the time I am on the phone or surfing the net. However, these lower limits require you to play straightforward poker. The morons dont know that a check raise means strength, so I never checkraise bluff. If I raise pf and an ace hits I always bet bc 90% they will fold. If an ace doesnt hit, I wont cont. bet bc they will call me down
