Another HU video. I ran hot (one thing I've picked up from DeathDonkey's videos ;-) but still think an interesting video nevertheless. Some obvious mistakes in there too of course, and perhaps not adjusting fast enough to this villain's tendencies, but see for yourself:

not sure why, but I am back to having trouble with the link.
Will try again tomorrow night.

Video worked fine for me.

Nice vid. I suspect that he caught up with you check-raising too many flops and played back at you on several occasions.

I was tempted to make a video myself, but I had hesitation beacause enligsh is my second langauge. Seeing it went pretty good for you, I think I'll try to make a movie and put up here in the near future.

Good video! I would definately change the color of the villain from red to green. This is probably a straight forward 6 max player who is trying to play aggressive heads up game. He 3bets so lightly but don't realize what is happening to him by playing far too tight post-flop. It would have been interested how the villain would have reacted if the match was longer. I personnally wouldn't have quitted the match even if someone told my mother was death =)

On a beginning, you opened 35o and 36o on the button. I wouldn't play these hand as a default line early in the match.

8:20 You call 97s SB, flop 84Ar went c-c. You bet your openender on the turn. You said his flop check means his going to give up mostly. I think this would be a decent spot to c/r. I know he has been straight-forward, but if you gave him just one spot to bluff and then get raised, he wouldn't try it ever again.

14:50 You called T6o on BB, flop A25 giving you BDFD. You insta c/folded. As long as he is playing on autopilot and folding too much, I'd c/r this flop. But I like even c/c more than just c/f

17:45 You call A3 BB, c/raise KQ4 flop "as a bluff". I think it's ok given the pot size, but I wouldn't do this always. You hope him to fold A5-A9 and small pp's which is about 10-15% of his range. So you are basically incesting 3 SB more to win a 7SB pot on a turn (assuming he calls the flop raise and folds the turn)

jaj...
I finally got this to work.
You ran well, read him well, adjusted well, played well.
You probably should have continued to play this guy,
as you had a big edge.

my only constructive comment is,
you may have got a little too bluffy in spots.
he generally told the truth, so you could just wait for him to check,
and then we bet and take the pot.
If this guy goes to war or is betting strong he has it every time.
I think too much bluffing on our part is counter productive,
as if we get caught, it only gives him good reason to play better.
By calling down more.
We want him to keep folding.

Yeah. They are mucks even later in the match against but too tight defenders.

Yeah, you're right. I was just mostly thinking "I want to win this pot", not, as I should have, "I want to win most monies with this hand". C/r makes perfect sense here.

14:50 You called T6o on BB, flop A25 giving you BDFD. You insta c/folded. As long as he is playing on autopilot and folding too much, I'd c/r this flop. But I like even c/c more than just c/f

Not sure about this. C/r is a good play, but not every single time.

17:45 You call A3 BB, c/raise KQ4 flop "as a bluff". I think it's ok given the pot size, but I wouldn't do this always. You hope him to fold A5-A9 and small pp's which is about 10-15% of his range.

Yeah, I didn't actually think through the flop play.
