HU Advice

[Mpettit2]

You just never limp the button ever... If your going to limp might as well limp every hand and just give up your position and make it harder on yourself all together.

Number one is always take control and put pressure on your opponent and this starts by protecting your position abd raising the button consisntenly to put your opponent in tougher spots than your in.

Great advice and thanks so much for sharing. I find it hard at times to play HU as it's not always the same person you play so you do have to incorperate different strategies in there at times. HU is something I still struggle wit at times as I'm sure we all do. Any advice is always good to come by. Thanks again and best of luck on those felts. *hugs*

I have problems playing HU with only one player. Look above me for that Donk ass person.

You really shouldnt struggle in these.... The HU Turbo's are very swingy considering your going to be getting in alot of 60/40 flips, unless your playing donks who are just dumping there rolls.

Its fairy easy to win at a 4-6% roi over a large volume.

If you are struggling in these I highly suggest training videos and can suggest a few if you like. People might think that is crazy but its a huge help and advantage hearing how to play these from ppl who put in 10k weekly and just pray on fish.

LMAO are you serious???????

You seriously cant be serious??? Anyone???

That is NOT a trap at ALL... LMAO The money/chips were going in the pot NO MATTER how you played that hand.

He was down 2.5-1 to you and blinds were 30/60. LMAO I cant believe Im actually wasting my time arguing this....

So if you raised instead of limping the button he was gonna fold? There was absolutely no trap set whatsover... Actually it was pretty freaking stupid to limp the button and let him see a free flop short if he wanted too with AK off....

I cant even believe Im having to discuss this.....
