Series summary here - SitCom: Heads Up with GaF - Series 1 Summary Series 1, Episode 1, Part 1 Heads Up with Gaf SWF Video link is here (6.5MB) - http://rapidshare.de/files/40660820/E01P01.swf.html Avi version of Video (14MB) - http://rapidshare.de/files/40678517/S01E01P01.avi.html I sat down at an empty table - Heads Up NLHE 25c/50c - and waited for my first victim. He duly arrived - billi_bons_1 - a name I recognised but have never sat with before. Why did I recognise him? I'd flagged him as a bad losing player and had tried sitting with him a number of times, but never managed it. Rather strangely, he sometimes plays 2 tables - why would a losing player multi table? When I see that I tend to give them a bit more respect and assume their losses could be simply variance at this stage - but his losses from the hands I've seen so far have been heavy! We both have $50 stacks - so we're playing for 100xBB. Hand 1 - 9h6h - I fold my button Hand 2 - 9d5h - he gives me a walk Hand 3 - AdKs - I'm not folding my button this time - I make a standard 3xBB raise. He folds HUD - During this hand, my Hud appears for him. I have 1007 hands data over which he has lost $376 (that's 37 "Big Bets" per 100 hands, or in iBigBlinds that would be 74 BB/100) His VPIP is 47% and his PFR is 26% - I dont view that as too bad - in his shoes I would like a slightly higher PFR percentage. From the big blind, he will fold to my button raises 49% of the time - so that's reasonably tight, I know that I can raise quite loosely from my button. From his button/SB his VPIP is 61% and his PFR is 37% - so he is limping quite a lot from his button! He continuation bets 51% of the time - which is less than a lot of players. When I continuation bet, he should fold about 38% of the time. He will call 46% of the time and he will reraise 16% - this is quite an aggressive response to cbets. (When I say "He will" - I know this is a small non representative sample - I really mean something like "Initial indications from previous tendancies are that he is likely to....") His aggression factor is 2 on the flop, 4 on the turn and 7 on the river. So he really steps up the agression progressively through each street. The 3bet and 4bet stats I've not really used that much yet, or fully got my head around how/when to use them - however he has 3bet 20% of the time he has the opportunity. He folds to a 3bet 58% of the time - that sounds huge and seems to make him well worth 3betting! He 4bets 17% of the time and he folds to a 4bet 69% of the time - again that sounds massive - even when he shows aggression, it looks like he can frequently be pushed off of pots. The Went to showdown stat of 26% is very low. This (with the fold to 3bet/4bet stats)seems indicative of a pretty weak player. His Won money at showdown stat of 52% is decent enough (he wins more often than not when he gets to showdown) Hand 4 - 5h3s - He checks into me and we see a flop. Kc 7S 4c. I have a gutshotstraight at the idiots end. We check check and the 6h completes my straight and gives me the second nuts. The pot is small, and a flush draw is out there. I need to try and build a pot, but he has shown no strength yet, so it could be difficult to win anything. I raise pot anyway, but unfortunately he folds. Hand 5 - 8s2h - I fold my button again Hand 6 - 8c7d - He gives me a walk from his button Hand 7 - 5c4s - I have low unsuited connectors - from the button I'm generally happy to play these and raise a standard 3xBB. He folds. Hand 8 - Td5c - He gives me a walk from his button Hand 9 - 7h2h - I fold my button Hand 10 - 9h5h - He gives me a walk from his button Hand 11 - KsKc - I make a standard 3xBB raise. He calls and I have a good enough flop with 3 undercards. Js7s5d. He checks, I bet 60% of pot and he folds Hand 12 - 9h9s - He makes a standard 3xBB button raise, I reraise 4x his bet and he folds Hand 13 - 9h7s - One gap unsuited connectors - hands that I've identified seem to cost me!! However I cannot resist a button raise and go 3xBB!!! Fortunately he folds before I can get myself into trouble post flop! Hand 14 - Jc7h - he limps button and I check to see a flop. Qc3c3d. A paired board - should be a good board to take a stab at? But I check and he checks behind. Turn is a blank 4s. He could have any 2 here, so I check and he checks behind. The river is Th - I have nothing and it's a small pot - just not worth bothering with I check and fold to his pot sized bet Hand 15 - 9d8h - unsuited connectors - good enough for a 3x button raise. He folds. Hand 16 - Th9h - suited connectors out of position. He completes. Action on me - what now? Specific Questions 1) What are your initial impression on villain so far? 2) What do you think of T9s, out of position, against this opponent with 100xBB stacks? 3) What is your action now? 4) What do you want that action to achieve? Anything else of interest?
