I've only recently moved to HUSNG's from cash games (6max, FR, and last 3 months HU) so I have kind of hard time adjusting to this format. I hit what is now 40 BI downswing since I began to play (running insanely bad at late stage all-in showdown results, getting cold decked tourney after tourney, not getting paid off on big hands etc, and some buyins were lost because of tilting after losing 4-5 matches in a row...), but I'm sure variance will iron itself out when i get more significant volume.
I remember playing you, just checked my database and saw that I coolered hell out of ya when you went runner trips vs my flopped set. I definately wouldn't minraise J4o OTB though, poker gods obv punish you for that.
But I also remember that in our last tourney you lost pretty much because you didn't adjust your play according to your read on me. In first match, you defended 3bets pretty wide (I'd fold QTo to what comes like 11% 3bet range which iirc you didn't know at the time if it was wide or polarized). Our last tourney I 3betted you with 23s, you had 77, and if you took a note when you defended a 3bet last time (I had some suited junk like J3s or something), I'd 4bet/get it in preflop. I was lucky though to luckbox 2 pair on dry flop and that it was such an aggressive dynamic for you to just shove your pair on flop.
You gave me some headache with high c/r on flop, I was on the verge of starting to rebluff some flop textures but really didn't find a good spot. You defend BB very wide for my standards so I was giving up on alot of boards even though i "knew" you were kind of FOS (because i saw you floating with weak draws oop).
But in total, you are very good player, and I remember tilting bad because you were constantly sitting me, but w/e.
I wrote this so you can see how I'd adjust against myself (which may come useful to ya if you encounter similar player), its not meant to be patronising.
I'd also be grateful if you can take couple of minutes to dig a bit in your database and give me a hint if you spotted some leak or bad tendency in my game. I used to game select pretty strictly when I played HU cash, so I have alot to improve when it comes to playing aggressive opponents.
Anyways good matches, good luck!
