Jordan 1 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 he done for the night. we started up again and i insta won 3 bi. coolered him in two spots and then he made a tough call and was wrong. all happened in like 5 minutes so i can't really blame him.i didn't feel great about how 80% of the 2nd match went (there been 3 now) but i think i'm aware of the adjustments i needed to make and started doing it more for the last 20% of the match and immediately at the start of the 3rd.ran really hot early in teh 3rd tho, so kinda sux cause we couldn't continue (although nice to win the $) If we play again we'll have to see what adjustments were right and what not.he's real interesting pre though cause he spews there a lot but doesn't really spew a ton post, at least not in real big spots often...his fold to 4bet is surprisingly low so that kinda makes me less apt to 4bet bluff him and play more in 3bet pots..but yea...i def think he a good and tough opponent and i hope i've learned/learning something from playing a reg like him. he opens 95%+ buttons so one of the main adjustments making on him was starting to donk more flops. I prob need that number at like 20% or so and I kept it below 10 for just way too long. i think that is prob the most significant change i needed to make so we'll see if we play again.

I remember not so long ago you were playing .10/.25 (even .05/.10 IIRC?), it's been great to see you move up and do so well.Hope I can start making the same kind of progress soon.Since I haven't posted a graph in awhile.My month at 50nl (moved up to 50nl on Feb 1)I am not doing too well for volume, but this month has been HECTIC with school and the thick of the bowling season, so I won't complain.Nice graph, and nice to see another bowler What's your average?

This thread as you know has some amazing posts from Matt, Jordan and all the rest. 2+2 also has a dedicated HU section I believe.From what I have read and seen, a HUD isn't nearly as useful at HU as it is at 6-max, it seems that it is more important to have good observation and make notes on a player. ETA: Not to say that a HUD isn't useful. Link to post Share on other sites
