Approx. 400 hands + 20BB. Was + 40BB after about 200 hands but then I started running a little cool.

I just played probably my longest single session against the same opponent, at 5/10 HU LHE. He bought in for $100, and again $60.50 (lol). I FINALLLLLLLY busted him after 437 hands (2.25 hours), and I ended up down $1. lol @ rake.I ****en had him down to like $30 on at least 2 occasions, and all in drawing to 2 outs one time, and each time he made monster comebacks. That kinda stuff is enough to drive me mental, but I kept my sanity here, and finally busted him. Thankfully, AP rocks my world, and I made $115 in incentives.

I'm rly interested in mixing in some 6m LHE with my current 6m NL/PLO games..I really just dont understand the dynamics of LHE well enough to be profitable even at the lower stakes:(if anyone wants to help me we can work something out(i.e. $)pm me:D

Yea raising is def better than calling. Think I had too aggressive of an image to where both blinds were still likely to come along.

on a paired board i would almost definitely fire again (folding to raise obv) barring knowing stuff about villains. against a few types i would never fire again, however. tough to say in general.

Without reads, against one caller, I bet/fold. Against both, I'm checking.

I'm firing 2 barrels pretty rarely here. Dry board, easy for someone to bluff in position on you. Just a kind of gross spot to be in.

are the 2/4 games at stars such that 2 callers isn't overs most of the time? you guys need to find better games lol.

I could never raise/fold the turn there. She has to have 2 pair there so often.

1k to 5k by May 1st challenge:March 11th: +$226 March 12th: +$54 March 13th: +$481 - Total = $1,761+210 in 1060 hands of 2/4, plus late last night I played a tourney and won about $270. Should I include tourney results? I don't really plan to play them very often.

i'm not sure that she does. she is NEVER making a free showdown play with a weaker hand. that i'm sure of. her range is this imo:Q8 (less likely), K8, KJ, KQ, A10 (less likely), 910.
