Joe who?
Pfft.
Leigh has spent the last half hour on the phone to his labradors, who gave him useful advice for button strategies in heads up poker. More useful than the people who have been railing him, possibly. no names mentioned, not even stuart oliver
he has a big chip lead, but anything can happen
30 minute levels
blinds are 80-160k for another 17 minutes, then 100-200k for 30 etc etc
i am transcribing
we have an hour to get this done before tikay's bedtime
some more pictures should be up shortly
lets do this
hole card graphics are broken
false start, sorry
abi raises the button to 370,000
leigh folds

abi's style is to raise more pre-flop than is considered conventional these days..has been throughout today
not an easy man to bluff or push around though
big fan of seeing flops
even bigger fan of hitting lots of flops
--
leigh second hand on the button raises to 320,000
abi re-raises to 800,000
CALL
K-8-6 two hearts
Abi leads out for 1m
fireworks early doors.....
Leigh immediately calls
on the turn, a black 5
Abi check
Leigh check
river seven spades, completing a number of draws
abi 1.8m on the river
leigh thinks, purses his lips
almost as if contemplating the construction of a spreadsheet
leigh motionless, and eventually folds....

abi folds his button

leigh button raises, abi folds

abi raises his button, leigh calls
4-2-10
check check
3
check check
8 river
check check
abi announces ace high which wins
abi folds

abi 10m leigh 15m now
--
abi button raise 375,000
leigh calls
imo leigh needs to get aggressive pre-flop in these spots. bit more 3 betting, take the iniative
abi not an easy player to play HU oop
i of course leigh taught everything he knows. About casino menus
leigh check folds to a flop bet
--
K-4-7-4-5 board
Abi the pre-flop raiser with A-3, they check down to the river and Ace high wins
--
abi button raise to 380,000
leigh folds
--
leigh raises to 395,000
trying to find the amount abi won't call pre-flop!?
abi re-raises to 820,000
leigh folds
next pre-flop button raise from leigh will be 425,000.
you don't update 173 competitions without being able to spot these things
a change of tactics
leigh in the big blind can see a free one and checks quicker than chubby checker on the dancefloor
leigh bets 350,000 on the flop and is called
my informant has been moved out of camera shot and cannot see the flop
by the river, leigh bets 475,000 abi folds
so thats one back for leigh, who had been losing momentum to the more aggressive player prior to this hand
not quite even stacks but close-ish
maybe 13-12m to leigh

leigh on the button, raises to 450,000
abi folds

abi button raises, leigh folds
--
leigh 450,000 on the button
call
checked the whole way
tikay needs to get a position where he can see the board
anyway abi called the raise with K-2 and was good at the end with king high
not too easy to win HU if you play "fit the flop and bet" and "miss the board and check"
aggression quotient needs to go up here
either can take control, and force it...and would be the most likely winner imo
then again, playing for £40,000 heads up, not easy at all.....
--
leigh 525,000 on the button
notice how these raise sizes are going up, but abi doesn't fold much pre or to one pre-flop raise
abi calls
Q-Q-10 two diamonds
check to leigh
leigh bets 650,000
abi folds after a think

all comments welcome, please
you HU specialists, give me your best strategies as either player here
back in a mo
leigh re-raises
abi 4 bets
leigh 5 bets
abi shoves
abi starts hand with 8.2m
CALL
has to, chance to win the tournament
leigh A-6
abi J-J
Q-9-Q-9-3
double up to 16.5m for abi, leigh down to 8.5m
