Heads up FTW

Permanent Linkby TheSalche on Mon Aug 20, 2007 5:36 pm GMT

Current HU stats:
$6.25s, 134 played, 69 won and 65 lost, -$9.50
$11.50s, 6 played, 5 won and 1 lost, +$41.00
NL$1, 1347 hands played, $271.45 won

Obviously heads up is my kind of game, since you would go nuts and/or lose a lot of money playing 3+ tables, it keeps me playing just one or two tables at a time but there's lots of action so it holds my focus. I find it a lot of fun to play and these low-limit games are sickly soft. My $6.25s stats kinda suck because I managed to go on an 8 buy-in downswing at one point, which hurts a lot, but I've had a pretty conservative BR so I'm not worried about losing my money.

About Thursday last week I decided to give the HU Cash a shot, playing only short stack players with $40 or less. My strategy was basically to stack them ASAP so that the rake doesn't hurt as bad. I've had a few losing sessions, but mostly I've ended up stacking my opponents and losing some money to full tilt through rake ... but I'll be getting some of it back, so it's not all bad.

Once I get my roll over $1000 I'll start taking shots at playing bigger stacked players, but until then I am datamining those tables 24/7, trying to figure out the regulars and whatnot. I feel like I may be able to turn poker into a part time job this semester. That thought is still quite long term, but I would like to be there by late September/early October.

You mean you played $100NL HU? I can't see staking someone quick an easy plan to follow.

But good luck.
