Just took down the $22 5k guaranteed HUMTT on Stars. Sort of, made a chipcount deal in the end because I had a "few" to many Guinness to risk losing.
Damn you Guinness!!!
Thanks go to:
1) Mickey for railing
2) Spamz for sending me blessed money on Stars (had $4.05 on there before that) for the Photoshop work I did for him. The money was clearly blessed, I now know why he can't lose
3) HUSNG.com for being awesome.
4) MJW for his AWESOME videos on Pokersavy, especially the 1st video of his 2nd series!!
5) donnyberretta for scarying all the donkeys at the $2 up to the $22 level
I can finally buy 1250 cheeseburgers

That Wagamama earlier must have really paid off - I must have fixed all of your leaks casually over lunch. Now return the favour and I can move up from the 6's and 10's

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!

..can't really remember too much about the games tbh, i just remember in general terms you were pretty solid and made a lot of 3-bets.. and now u come to mention it yeah that J-4 - flopped 2pair hand was SICK! I do remember that hand lol!
If you want to send me the HH for our matches (i only save mine up to 7 days so dont have any) then by all means do so and ill send u a review of the match/thought process, if you think that will help please feel free and ill go over it later

Sometimes poker sucks.
In before "standard".
I am also a losing HU player, it's okay to suck as long as you're sensible of it. After all, there can be only so many winners in the world, right?
And besides, someone has to run worse than everyone else.
