Bet more on streets 1 and 2, you left him with too much on that river.

Is PS harder than FTP?

Mine got threatened to revoke once. And I do a lot of "talking" online, but surprisingly of all things they chose to complain about, it was me calling for a Queen.

That's funny, 4 lines of chat asking for a Q.

FWIW I've never seen anybody do that to me in a HU match except for 2+2 railbirds that I knew or when I was playing a 2+2er.

[Genz]

Hi!

I like to improve my HU game and I think this thread is where I can post my total newb questions best. I got pretty much creamed recently on a 50NL HU Cash table (bought in short, lost 40BB three times pretty quickly against full houses, flopped straights etc.), so I am pretty much puzzled about things like relative hand strength in HU (i.e. is it normal to be shown hands better than twopairs/sets all the time or is it variance? am I going to SD too often?) etc.

So I'd love it if you could give me a few pointers on where to start reading up on HU. NL mostly since I plan on winning back those $$ I lost there. But I don't mind playing limit either.

Thx.

I cant sleep tonight so I wrote this instead, please enjoy my tired ramblings.
