A blog officially protesting HUDs

I have been playing very very well and have no complaints. I’m only up a few bi bc im running terrible at showdown. Overall im up 6 bi if you count a HU session i put in.But whats scary is im up almost 8 bi w/o showdown and down i think about two at showdown. Just running into alot of ppl winning ai with draws and stuff too. But when it turns im going to be shipping bis w/ ease.

My take on the state of the games are basically this. When ppl click call they will have a wide range. When they bet they have it. There river betting ranges are incredibly unbalanced And this hand came up that i am actually extremely happy with my play but this fish surprised me. I thought he also had a flush draw too when he bet to go along with his random air so that is my rational for check raising this river

He was like a 45/6 std donk and somehow he owned my soul. But i think it works vs like 99% of opponents and their range. My read on value ranges and ppl dont value bet thin at these levels played into my choice to c/r the river. My play here vs any compentent opponent will get looked up light but this type of player is very bad so i was so confused with his play. If i though he was good and saw him playing better i would give him credit for leveling me but i just think he thought he was good so he was never folding.
