Cya at the MATH next week! (Queens broke again)

Hmm. I think I might like heads up play. So Full Tilt has a 4 player 6.50$ double heads up SNG. It took me one hand to win the first match when I raised pre with QJ, villain made a soft 3bet, so I called. Flop came Q-high with two spades, he cbet, I jammed, he called with AsTs and bricked out. Not sure if that's okay for heads up play, but from what I've gathered reading about other people playing HU, top pair is usually golden.

The 2nd match took a bit longer, but it ended with a sick river card for the other guy who slow played his way to no pay.

So I'll cya at the MATH next Monday! :)


On another note, QQ lost for the 7the time out of the last 8 when I raised preflop and saw a 852 flop. EP checks, MP donks, I shove, EP insta-calls, MP folds. Ofc EP has 88 and rivers quads just to rub it in my face. I'm seriously going to consider open folding the next QQ I get...

no you cant open-fold QQ online. you have to save that for when youre playing live, get into a big pot preflop, then fold & show when you get put all-in on a rag flop. that's how the pros do it.
