| Sorry mods. After reading this I realize it was more of a drastic bad beat rant. Some plays look bad now that I look at it. Still working on that apathy thing. |

Yeah... You played a few hands pretty terribly.. I read this thread last night and had a pretty large post to submit, but deleted it. Basically, quit open limping the button with terrible hands, and you def should have bet the turn with [32o] in the hand where you made trips. There are other mistakes, but those are the only ones I remember.
The main thing is you seem to have no problem attributing your wins to you "outplaying him". However, you continued to attribute your losses to your extremely bad luck. Focus on the decisions in the hand, not the results. Results do not indicate whether you played the hand correctly or not. And you made quite a few incorrect decisions, so if you want to feel bad, then do so because you could/should have played better, not because you ran bad. That way, you will be more critical of your play, and therefore more apt to improve it.
Also learn something about variance. There is a good amount of variance at SNGs, and loads of it at HU. Combine the two and I'm sure the variance can be quite large. Getting upset after losing 3 games is pretty laughable in the context of how bad/good it could be. |

What Stacks says here. Look, it's true you got sucked out on a few times, so I'm a little more forgiving than Stacks is about that. As long as you don't take things too seriously, there's nothing wrong with grousing about, say, villain hitting a 3-outer on the turn after you flop 2-pair.
But you have to think about (1) what hands play well heads up and (2) playing those hands aggressively to capture fold equity and to put your opponent on the defensive. And if you do that more often, you will set up situations where you don't feel you have to slowplay somewhat vulnerable hands like trips with a potential straight draw.
I say this as someone who is a full ring limit player and by no means the best player heads up or in no limit-- but I know enough to know that heads up no limit is all about controlled aggression to force your opponent to make expensive calls he doesn't want to make while being able to get out cheaply when you are behind. |
