i think i get away with beating a lot of ppl who play more disciplined poker than me and who make better river decisions than me by adjusting much better than them. adjusting effectively is prob the single best part of my hu poker game.
a quick example. a strong regular opponent i played would flat about 30% of his hands in the BB against my btn open. he would c/r flop with a balanced range, but would c/r the turn with TP+ and the occasional bluff but mostly bet out the turn with stronger semibluffs, overcards and weaker made hands for value/protection. he would also c/r the river with his whiffed turn c/r hands.
quiz: what's my adjustment ?? (the hard part is gathering the information I just supplied, the application is easier) By adjustment I mean how do I play all the groups of hands in my range given this info.
I know you said this thread was over, but I noticed the quiz wasn't answered.
Given the information, if I got to the turn, then I would have a polarised betting range when he checks to me (I don't really see much value in betting things that don't beat TP, seeing as when he C/R you have to fold considering his value range has you crushed and he's balanced here) To air and hands which beat TP. When he leads, it of would depend on how often he double barrels his missed draws and how thinly he value bets the river which would decide what I would do with most hands, but in general, I would raise with draws, with a view to betting the river most of the time, to get him off his weakish turn bet/calling range, and call with marginal hands, 2nd pair and whatnot, being more inclined to call if his river bluffing frequency was high. (of course this is assuming he isn't adapting very well himself)
And on the river, If employing this strategy, then my range when he checks to me (assuming i've checked back the turn) would be pretty much all marginal hands, and I would only bet to induce if I think his river C/R range in that spot would be too air heavy, otherwise I would check back and either beat his air or lose to his TP+
If I had called the turn, I would generally call the river, without reads on hsi barrelling frequencies.
Any good?
P.S. great thread.
