deadlydaveLDN Posted January 25, 2011 Author Share Posted January 25, 2011 Re: 2011 Heads Up Cash Tried to download HEM onto my temporary laptop last night but couldn't get it working. Played some HU $50NL anyway, and I have to say, while I find it difficult to play MTTs without a HUD, I had no problems whatsoever doing this. Won about 4 buy-ins, going to be difficult to update completely accurately until I get a new laptop/HUD working, but the temporary break is over. At least until I sort out this MTT staking deal ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadlydaveLDN Posted January 28, 2011 Author Share Posted January 28, 2011 Re: 2011 Heads Up Cash Managed to lose the majority of those 4 buy-ins pretty quickly, but since then up around $750. Obviously not gonna hit the $5k Jan target, but still a good end to the month anyway. Not in any hurry to get my HUD working now anyway as my play hasn't really suffered, which sadly means a lack of graphs at the current time.

deadlydaveLDN Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 Re: 2011 Heads Up Cash Nice fun 5-buy-in downswing this morning, up $1k overall though, and I imagine I'll experience much worse than 5BIs at some stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deadlydaveLDN Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 Re: 2011 Heads Up Cash Earlier today was a bit of a struggle with not so many fish coming out to play in the afternoon but they've really appeared tonight and it's been a bit of a pattern that, so I'm going to concentrate my efforts on playing from 9pm onwards in future I think. +$1500 Edit : I was about $500 up earlier in the thread when I first started but that all got withdrawn/lost on MTTs, so I'm going with the figure since I started a few days ago, which is the one above.

GaF Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Re: 2011 Heads Up Cash +$1500 playing a complete donk though' date=' [/quote'] Just checked him on PTR - he's break even on NL100 over 7k hands - are there not softer games? What's your view on his weaknesses? I see that his usual game is Pot Limit Holdem - not sure (generally) how I'd interperet that - if I play a fixed limit player, then I feel they're likely to play too many hands and too many draws, so I'd make my bet sizing a bit bigger than usual to take advantage of that perceived weakness (and get them paying the wrong price) - not sure that would transfer over quite so clearly to a Pot Limit player though.

deadlydaveLDN Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 Re: 2011 Heads Up Cash +$1500 He never folds OOP when he has a piece of the board unless it's really scary, flop check-raises are air/draws 90% of the time, turn check raises are the nuts or virtual nuts every time, when he does c-r the flop as a bluff he normally fires the turn and river. If I check behind turn he always fires pot at river. Simply I know what he has in most pots. So far, I played badly at the start and have run into some bad situations since, but if he doesn't quit I get all the money back. Plus I'm pretty sure that's his entire bankroll on the table. PL and NL basically the same game HU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deadlydaveLDN Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 Re: 2011 Heads Up Cash +$1500 Well, I got him in the end. As GaF says, plenty was lost to rake, but it was better (since I knew I was going to beat this guy) to stay and play than to write the rake + lost money off. He switched his game up a lot towards the end, ended up bluffing a lot/value betting worse, before I won the last hand, 2nd nut flush v 3rd nut flush. Since I'd been coolered so much though, it was about time I got one. Unfortunately, with the rake in that game (dunno what it was, was significant, though I'll get 27% back), and losses in other games that I was struggling to concntrate on at the same time, I'm back to +$1300. Oh well, onwards and upwards, the real big whales should be about to come out to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
