meh, ongame lobby is becoming horrific to! hopefully betfair coming brings some good action!

Agreed, but give me the option if i want to post or not, then im happy, and for god sake, let me sit at 2 tables at each limit

What's the difference really between 1 or 2?

lol. i can't say i'm really surprised about this tho, cake software UI looks like it's made by bunch of ******s and apparently the inner workings reflect that also.

agreed.

thats so crazy, the action is just so crazy good, but this will make me think the next time im busted by a fish

every time i log in to check action on cake theres never more then 5 tables getting action from 100nl to 1knl (heads up)

Yah and prob 4 of those are at 100nl.

sorry bout that, bout 20th hand of match so no solid reads, villian 3barrled aq on k7897 after 3betting pre and has c/r 885ss then folded to my 3b

sorry man but it's really tilting when someone posts a hand like that with absolutely no reads

Started playing HU PLO for the first time tonight. Nothing like someone playing 100/88, 3betting every bb and always hitting the board regardless of texture. Jesus.

i really hate your avatar when im dry, rbracco

gonna start a thread for that hand since its on another page now

haha sorry...where you from?

Welcome to heads-up PLO. Its ******ed.

hehe

i don't think this post is going to be super interesting to most of you. i'm sorry, i'm just sort of venting / rambling. please skip if you're not in the mood for that.

invariably, when i watch videos and attempt to open up my game at NL50, it's a complete disaster. they're always looking for good spots to get their opponents to fold. that is really an uphill battle at NL50.

"just value bet. EZ game". right? yes, i'm perfectly capable of value betting made hands that are far from the nuts, but...even those are relatively rare. and a ton of my mid-strength hands are made on the turn or river where i'm often just calling bets, because.........:

when i force myself to just abandon bluffing, and attempt to make value betting my primary weapon, there are basically no players who won't happily take the role of aggressor. the vast majority of my matches end up with me, in position, just being bet into relentlessly, and trying to deal with that. cbet flop, check turn, bet into on river. check flop, bet into on turn. etc.

barrel the turn more? fair enough if that's the only good option, but geez i find myself so stuck on so many rivers when i don't really like my hand and i've gone and made the pot big. it seems like bluffing a fair amount of rivers has to go hand-in-hand with barreling...and i'm not supposed to be bluffing, right?

has anyone gone from this helpless, lame, weak/passive gayness to a more aggressive mode without lighting $ on fire bluffing? if so, uh, how? if nothing else, i'm just bored. it seems like so many of my matches are just me folding in small pots and value betting occasionally for $7 until we flip AK vs QQ for stacks. can anyone point me to some good posts/threads here or good videos somewhere that address this in depth?

cliffs: doesn't "just value bet" advice for small stakes HU over-account for how often we actually make value hands?

here's my latest start at NL50 where i'm attempting to only value bet / never bluff. lolllllll my red line is headed for an epic destination:

I mean you have to bluff sometimes, barrel the overcards, etc. Just watch more low stake vids against non-regs and pick your spots.

Is anyone else getting ****ted on by full tilt disconnects?

wanna swap 1k stars for 1k ftp, have references, want ftpftpftp

It has been happening to a few people in the HUSNG regs thread in the past few nights I think.

outsiders was filmed here... Admiral Twin Drive In ftw ! lol

the way i look at hu poker is more like boxing... you want to jab jab jab at your opponent and piss him off. get him ready to go at you all at once and when he comes stumbling in for the knock out blow you just slide to the side and smoke him mike tyson's punchout style!

that really is kind of the trick. your bet sizing and rhythm needs to be geared towards the game play and get him prepared to play a pot way bigger than he needs to when you have a big hand.

this doesn't work worth a crap playing good players but luckily there aren't any at 50nl lol.

have u ever given consideration to getting a blog rather than posting the same old i run so bad BS every other day? i mean no one would read it but at least u would be posting it there rather than here.
