Hey guys, I'd like to introduce myself. I've been playing 6-max cash for a while and decided to give HU cash a try. Should be interesting.

One question: How the hell do you guys deal with all of the ratholers and hit and runners? These guys are seriously starting to piss me off.

Wow, that happens all the time at the SNGs. nh.

Fine ChicagoRy, I apologize, no more fake hands, okay?

And I thought you were having a losing day yesterday.

[daveT]

Serious question:

First hand, I have the BB.

In the chat, my opponent types: "All in" and shoves.

What assumptions do you make on your opponent, and what do think when they write this later in the match?

[Landonfan]

Before or after the cards were dealt?

[Somekid]

This reminds me of a scheme I was thinking of where a player would buy in to a NL game, say I'm PUSHING NEXT HAND!!!! and then if they picked up 99+ or AT+ would shove. Otherwise the player would just fold, and try the same thing on a different table.

This is an awesome short-stack strategy.

My question is dead-serious though. I never know what to think when they type "All in" after they see there cards.

It's funny, because the timer always goes down,
Chat: All in (because finding the - button would be too long)

And then all the chips go to the middle.

This just happened from a sorta passive guy late in the game. I couldn't call with my hand, but I am always curious what you guys think this means, especially on the first hand.

[daveT]

I cannot find the hand history, but for the first time ever, I get rolled up trips. Unfortunately, I was playing Razz.
