    Depends on how comfortable with your post-flop play and your read on your opponent. If they're limping 50%+ and never raising I'm raising to 4BB with Q2+, any suited connectors or double gappers, and...

    Larger sample size, the 4 mans are by far fishier. I played more than a few 25%+ ROI regs at around the $10 and $20 games. Still giant holes in their games obviously but the 4 mans are by far...

    Personally I like the river here. The bet looks weak enough that he may try to get a shove steal here and will also get called by a lot of Ten hands. I probably would have went more around 180 but...

    Basic strat is in the middle of the two you've listed here.

    Problem with strat 1)
    I don't recommend raising every hand. No reason to play 73 type of hands. Folding these hands (which maybe occur...

    Pre-greeting is terrible. Put this forum on a range.

    As played I'd float the greeting and do a large post about space in all caps.

    I laughed for nearly 28.3% of an hour at M2M's penguin. Tstrout can use his advanced math to figure out how much time that is if you're curious.

    I had thought this to be true too simply based on the "Oooo look what I could win" factor that bigger tourneys always have.

    Recently been playing in a few 2s and have been amazed at the amount of...

    2 man vs 4 man math

    Spent way too much time working on this to where it's hurting my head. Someone check my math. It's a chart showing the win rate assuming you win 66% of all heads up matches, comparing results of...

    In. Will send tonight.

    Edit: Actually, when will this be played? If the idea is during the week, I'm out due to work schedule.

    Hand 2 your raise is solid if you're wanting to coin flip against at least a jack. I wouldn't want that situation. By raising a larger amount you're repping more strength and put more pressure for...

    Hand 1) Rep the king and cbet, if he checks turn, 60% pot it, or call if he bets. As played river looks like decent strength so if you want to try to steal it you're going to need to make that raise...

    On the heads up front, my friend who went from the $200 NLHU cash up to now playing at the $1000, the rake is less brutal at that amount. He played around at lower amounts but the rake is just brutal...

    I also take the flip whenever I have 77 or better because there are several opponents (like you did here) that will take a shove chance with a lower pair than 7s. With 3s it's just too hard to be a...

    Don't know of any exercises, but I tend to not take coin flip situations unless I have a strong belief I have at least one of their cards covered, such as 10 10 vs A9. Since I play better than most...

    I'd fold to his shove, at best you're facing two overs, at worst you're drawing to 2 outs. If you have a significant edge and a 2:1 chip lead, this is a hand I would let go and look for a better spot.

    I wouldn't raise here due to the likelihood that he's thin value betting thinking you were playing a 9 and a raise here will likely be met with a reraise.

    If he'll pay you off on the flush then you're getting the odds to call if you don't put him on a full house.

    General strategy is 10-12 BBs or less means you should be shoving.

    I like to expand that out to 12-15 BBs being shoved over 2+ limpers if I'm in late position. You get fold equity that is fairly...
