Whats going on?? Lagging it up again??

oh and ShipIt, now when I start a session, i always open new tables and do some HU before it fills up, man HU, people try to bluff like 90% of the time.

Nah ... I'm not really lagging it up, except that I played a few 40/30 sessions a few days ago to recalibrate my game from übernit to a fluid tag (23/19 or so)

Trouble is, when everybody keeps hitting their outs or just flopping sets, there is not much you can do ... [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Is there any good literature online about playing HU poker? I've never actually played straight HU poker in cash games mainly because I'm scared I'll be easily exploitable somehow. Did anyone write any good articles on 2p2 for HU play?

[whyzze]

agression, and the ability to quickly adjust are key to HU

The Bryce vids are pretty awesome for minbet hu .. for unlimited hu most seem meh and non existing. (and lets not forget that at smaller stakes, the rake is brutal)
