    Default 5/10 HU against creative

    I'm playing creative HU because he is just not able to play against complete overaggression. He plays really "balanced" but too tight against complete overaggression. I am opening 100% of BU's and threebetting about 20% of the time. I have shown very little aggression postflop, I'm pretty much just trying to just take my edge preflop. I suspect his cold calling range is like KT/A9 type hands and some sc's i guess, not really sure. He has a very balanced cold call range on the flop, and not as weak of a range as most on river.

    creative actually seems like the type of player who can find a fold here.

    I assume you've played him? I feel like triple barrelling this type of board is somewhat worthless against him because he knows when he calls the flop its a good triple barrel board for me and he will balance (probably over balance) appropriately.
