A bluff followed by a legit hand - it all works out

I will chase with bad odds on the flop if I think I can get their stack when I hit... Half the time a call on the flop will scare em into givin me a free card on the turn anyways

Calling a raise and a reraise with 58?

What site do you play on?

Partyskins. Im up for some heads up play any time if thats what youre getting at. Its hard to find any 1vs1 play on that site without the tables filling up anyways.

Read my other thread where I lay JJ down in a heads up game - its not all mindless aggression so just calm down.

Let them raise and re-raise with all their queens and aces, ill shoot for the bottom end of the deck and de-stack both of em!

No that's not what I'm getting at. I suck at heads up and playing HU online is a losing proposition anyway. All the money just goes to the rake unless you are considerably better or worse than your opponent. I'm just stunned you would call a raise and a reraise with absolute trash.

Online heads up play does get expensive if you have an equal opponent, but the majority of em are just action junkies that never fold when they should. It is fun though.

And yea I gotta admit it is trash preflop, but Im tryin new things out while I have the bankroll to do so.

SO YOU'RE THE ASSHOLE THAT CALLS HUGE RAISES with 2-5 AND FLOPS A STRAIT.

lol... smackin let me know if this strategy works, because I have been de-stacked 2-3 times by bitches calling with trash that hit trips + 2 pair + straight with rags. It just seems like this sort of thing would get expensive quick however.... the only way you'll win is with a miracle flop

Or a bluff!

I dont know..its goin alright I guess. I sure as hell havent lost any big pots with trashy hands. The majority of my lost money is funneled out through hands like KQo and TJs

Yea I can relate. I got de-stacked last night. Get AK raise 2.00 get two callers. Flop 8 8 K. Im thinkin im golden. Im gunna de-stack a weaker king or a lower pp. AA would have reraised. UTG pushes I call guy after me calls as well. UTG Flips AK retard to my left flips 89o. I can understand calling a $2 raise with implied odds but he had NONE. Thats OK though I got it back when he hit 2 pair vs. my set.
