Since i`m learning HU lately with moderate to high success i can`t not think about the game. In my last post i uploaded pt stats of my tilt free period running with 20bb/100. Last night i lost 9bi to a guy. Now this is a situation me and Rhaegar have a fight about for a long time now. His position is the logical - if he puts it in with the worst of it and still win u should never quit if ur not tilting. Yeah luck doesn`t have memory and the math is math. I, as a logical person think that should be a fuckin fact. Yet, i couldn`t not notice that some guys, some days just do NOT lose no matter what. Yeah its against any logical thought but it is true. Here are some hands of my match :

I`m ofc angry but can`t find a logical reason to quit a guy putting it in that light. After him winning a ton of pots with less than 40% we come up to this hand :

Sure, 2-3 of the 9bi i lost was a result of my mistakes ( which i`m not sure are mistakes against this particular player ). Last hand he holds w/ QQ against my AK and i just sit out. Now when i think about it its kinda of a superstitious to quit a guy that bad because he runs good. But i`m goind to do that from now on. Just in case Anyways i`m still running @ 10bb/100 overall after winning 4bi from another guy after my tragical match.


What do u guys think about that dilemma? I also think about shortstackers HU. How short do u play if u even play them. I am currently not playing anyone below 50-60bb but in several CR vids playing shorties is said to be extremely profitable. I`d be happy to hear some thoughts about having stop loss (no matter how poor villain is playing) / playing shortstackers from anybody with HU experience.

i've been running like those hands above for 3 months now,its just variance dont sweat it in the end it'll come down how much of a edge you got on them and if you do got it u ll make money...

But in HU I stop playing the person when im down 3 bi's to him.

If you are good enough to not tilt keep playing when its EV+, if you notice yourself making mistakes or him running you over with the momentum then quit.

Also people who sit really short HU are usually gross fish which you are gonna stack eventually so I dont mind em.

I play anyone that buys in for 20bb +, sometimes even some 10bbs, if they hit and run after doubling up and comes back later with 10bb again I don't play them, if they don't hit and run you can't possibly not eventually get all their money

Im not sure what to do tomorrow when I see her, should I shake her hand?? -Floofy
