10 Heads Up Victories in a Row

[Dice Man]

That is a fair statement. I wouldnt count the 22 vs. Q9 as particularly lucky but A7 vs. AK was. I was only short-stacked because you caught a series of gutshots while I was slow-playing two pair lol. Well done on lasting more than four hands.

[Thor2007]

I'm ready for more

[Dice Man]

OK then, one more. I noticed you just got beat by some fish so you'll probably be all tilted up. I'm gonna register for one at 1:42 unless I see you in one first. If some fish ends up in there I can't be arsed to play any more after them.

This was tough as it usually is against Thor, but it was fairly one-sided towards the end. The best HU PL HE player won.

[Thor2007]

You cant be that good if you find it tough against someone that never plays PL and who has been drinking. I'll see you for a few NL games tomorrow night.

I'm bored. Might donk on the cash tables.

[Dice Man]

Yeah you do that. Most of the people I play are fish and expect me to be a fish as well, hence they are easy pickings and very easy to beat with the optimum strategy. I can generally tell exactly how to beat them within five hands, usually why I lose about 200 chips over those 5 hands finding out how they play.
The point of this thread is really just to point out that I can beat these rubbish players routinely. Against someone decent like yourself I have an advantage but it is slight and possibly attributed to lots of experience playing PL HU. But you, who are a fairly decent player, will still lose to these fish a relative proportion of the time, probably 30-40%.

[Thor2007]

I tend to only lose playing for $3, same with NLHE. If its for money thats worth winning then I seem to pay more attention and play better.

Same on the cash tables and stts. If its worth winning then you play better, if not then ya dont give a shit!

I obviously do try against you though.

[Dice Man]

Honour is worth more than cash and you know it.

[Thor2007]

honour is worth more than $3. certainly.

[Thor2007]

This will pay for tomorrow's heads up adventure.
