Questions about HU in general

DennisGPunkt · #1 10-16-2007, 04:20 PM

Lately ive been playing HU on PS (10+5$) and ive run terrible. Besides ALOT Badbeats, ive been running into the following situaton quite often.

As soon as i grinded up a 2 to 1 chiplead people start randomly pushing (blinds at 3rd level). Now I wonder wether i should call with med PP or if im better off folding? I've
lost like 6 HU in a row beeing up against such players and i wonder if my play there is right when im calling those bets.

If you can outplay them then avoid coin flips which is what happens if you call preflop with 77 or something. I wouldn't play different until villian has like 20BB. If he's pushing you around just wait till you have a big hand.

River: (t3000) 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players, 1 all-in)

Final Pot: t2720

Not that you can use it, just thought you should know.

If someone is pushing AI EVERY hand, ill usually call with A7+, KT+, 77+ and QJ.

Seems to work well for me. But then again, i'm a luckbox. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
