Well, I don't have much of a resume'.

I did play Bona to a standoff after over an hour on a HU table the other night. Of course, he did have me down a lot for awhile when I turned into a complete LAG and, then a showdown monkey, when I couldn't believe the hands the SOB kept hitting. Made a comeback when I started getting a few hands.

I did sit down with a random at one of the play money HU tables the other night. He sat down with 15 BB's and it took me only about 25 hands or so to relieve him of his play money. Of course, it was easy because he didn't know that there was a preflop raise button and would only raise postflop when he had some sort of a hand.

The only other HU experience I have is during the KOTKP HU play last year. This noob got the pleasure of busting his headsup cherry against Mr. Wookie the first match. Had a little of a chip lead early, but then Mr. Wookie schooled mey pretty well in headsup play.

So that's what little I have to offer.

Doc

I wonder if there is a side bet to be had about who the first pick is going to be? If that's obvious, maybe something where we say name 2 of the first three? I haven't given a lot of thought to the list from the POV of a captain. Anyone see any interesting wagers to be had?

Maybe pick two novices and two HULA veterans? Would someone lay 1:1 that the first novice and the first veteran picked would come of the list he/she made? Do we need a bigger pool?

Any idea about picking order for captains, yet?

[nit]The character μ is actually called "mu"[/nit]

why don't you show off your skills and give some lines for potential individual matchups?

such as?

I may take you up on some side bets, monk. I feel like I ought to have some involvement in HULA, but I cbf to actually participate.

Just looking for an excuse to meet others in this forum, even if it only comes in the form of "Hey, don't **** this up, I have a lot* riding on this match!"

* "a lot" may be substituted with "a little"

edit: alternatively, I saw that marchron was planning on doing some sort of predictions thing. Maybe we can start a pool for whoever has the best set of predictions.

Is it wrong/immoral/cause for disqualification to bet on yourself?

I'm last years KOTKP Stud/8 winner. Other than that, I suck at life.

I'm pretty sure that overall props were OK last rime around, but idk. The rules says that participants can only bet on your overall team results being better than someone else's.

translation:

oh idk... just pick a few that could be interesting.

I hold the raise button no matter the situation cause there's always the chance that my opponent is bluffing and that's at least some EV to be made.

When is the draft?
By the money transfer from Wookie, I didn't get drafted. That's ****ing great!
Have fun.

is anyone sidebetting? need to get pool bets in before games get underway imo
