Nice session today getting a lot of my losses from yesterday back. It goes to show although its tempting to play on during a bad session its best to call it a day like I did last night and come back nice and refreshed today and it paid off.

Excellent session not normally in the normal way. Struggled a little in the heads up games but did brilliant in the DYMS. A lovely bonus from the sky poker premiership made it a very good session.

Morning Hotty.
 
Those HU results are extraordinary, & I envy your bankroll growth.

I happen to be (officially) the world's worst HU player, but I'm actually intching to try PLO8 HU. I am pretty sure I'll do my conkers, but itches have to be scratched.

Without giving away any secrets, why do you do so well at these? Is it similar to your PLO8 DYM game, controlled aggression? 

How long do they last, on average? Does all the money get in "pre" pretty early? How many can you (sensibly) play simultaneously?

Having seen me play plenty times, do you think I could adapt to HU?

I might just try a few cheapies today, to see how it all works, especially if they are over pretty quickly, which I imagine they are.

I tried a couple of £2.10 hu the other day. The first one my oppo thought a pair of sevens was good enough to get it all in on the very first flop against my wheel up and down. I thought he may have regged by mistake. The second game took much longer and although I had the edge for most a rivered king gave my oppo the better house when all the money had gone in. I have looked at Hotties progress with a green eye myself and thought I would give it a go but am not sure I am skilled enough HU but the practice will do me good I suppose.

Yeah, we seem to think alike Nick.

I am deffo going to try a few, though I'm pretty sure I'll get beaten up. But if I don't try, I'll regret it.

Hi Tikay

I like to think my education helps me being a decent player. I have a degree in business management and 2 diplomas, one in maths and one in psychology so I am always plotting, planning and making percentage choices at the tables. I like to mix my style up at the table so that I don't give the same read or pattern to the opponent. Changing styles in heads up plo8 is a big thing and a thing not a lot of players do because if you fall into a pattern its not so hard to pick the player off. Most games average 10-15 mins if not less. I have had a few go 40 mins but this only normally happens when two good solid players clash. I only play 1-2 at a time. I also think you could adapt. I think you have a good game however you may have to open your range a little as we can't always wait for great hands in heads up as the blinds are on us all the time. Good luck at the tables and any advice you need you know where I am

Thanks, & yes, I'm aware I'd need to widen my range "considerably".....;)

Whether I can is another matter, of course.

The "pattern" thing is interesting. It took me a while to get to grips with one player in particular, who ALWAYS does a certain thing in certain situations. But I worked it out eventually, & found a way to combat it. Been a great help actually, though I need "position" ideally.
 
Must be said, I'm as guilty as any at "patterns", but I've started mixing it up a lot recently, as most players know my game inside out by now. I even played a hand last night that did NOT contain an ace. Just the one hand, mind, can't be too careful, eh?

Having a business mind helps, too, I think, as you suggest.

Anyway, I'll give it a whirl soon. 

I played a "Live" PLO Tourney recently, it was (alternatively, per LEVEL) 4/5/6 card. Me & Matey Boy got Heads Up, & it happened to be at the start of the 6 card Level. Opening ranges were pretty wide, fair to say......doubt there are ANY hands in 6 card HU that we can't see a flop with!

I just feel pattern changing helps our game to evolve over time and stops our game from becoming stagnent. Not to say having one set way is always a bad thing and we will get away with that against the so called fish but the better players will work it out and punish accordingly over time.

Just amazing how you just win a few bob almost every night, not much, but the old "a dripping tap soon fills a bath" thing.
 
Been really good to have you play a few DYM's,too, you've livened them up a treat & you are great & gracious table company.
 
We were joined by another PLO8 HU specialist last night - see my Diary for details.
 
Anyway, I envy your day after day consistency. Your results remind me of this.....

Hi tikay thanks for the comments

Yes REDEMPT is a very very good solid player and not one you want to play heads up very often if you have an aspiration of making money lol. I do like playing the DYMS but I normally do it just to mix it up a bit as playing heads up all the time can become a bit one paced. Anyway back to the tables and enjoy your few days off

Interesting you mix some holdem in there, any real thought behind this or just a refresher?

Just to see if I can improve this side of my game too. I'm always looking at new ways of improving my whole poker game and its just another format I am giving a little go in between sessions

What are the key strategic differences between plo8 and NLHE HU sngs? 

In HU holdem, it's really hard work making any sort of good hand or draw on the flop. So most pots are 'stolen' with the most aggressive player taking it down without any real hand, be it pre flop or post flop.

Players who don't fight for pots and insist on waiting for a good hand will be dismissed easily. 

Is this the same in PLO/8? 

Or is playing your own hand and reading the board more important than exploiting weaknesses in your opponent? 

Good work with the roll spiinup!

Posted by DOHHHHHHH

• It is quite different as you do like to see a lot of flops as plo8 is mainly a drawing game. That's not to say you can't exploit players weakness because you can its just before making a move you like to lock up as much areas as possible so that you get the best value for your hand. One of the main differences in the two games is bluffing. In Holdem you see a lot of bluffs however bluffing in plo8 is suicidal as in most hands the opponent will have some holding if you haven't, so will therefore call a lot more often, so as a general rule I hardly ever try bluffing people off a hand in plo8.
