I run g00t.........

...NAT!

Ok just finished a 400 hand session of NL 100 HU. I think I played pretty well and I definetly had weak opposition. What I've noticed so far is that a lot of the fish slow play a lot (atleast @ NL 100) and are generally loose passive, which is the easiest opponent to beat in NLHE.

He just sat down

And open shoved his first hand. Easy call, standard cooler.

Mixing it up

My flopped flush didn't hold up, not much I can do here. I won't be reraising this type of player too light, but hu has a different dynamics as to 6max or 9max to the degree where you can not just sit back and wait for big hands all the time. I basically considered this a play to balance my image and to get more value from when I do reraise for value.

Valuebetting a station


Stations hu can be a bit frustrating to play against, because it's difficult to make hands hu. You need to adjust by valuebetting hard when you have a good hand, but also when you have a mediocre hand that is likely best. I don't think this is too thin here as a lot of players can have hands here that I am ahead of, but checking would've been too weak in this spot.

Shoving bottom pair for value


I think my hand fairs pretty well against his leading range here. He'll have a lot of draws that I'm ahead of and likely fold a second or third pair hand.

As you can see most of these guys play 50-100bb stacks, they just buy in for whatever, but they are weak enough to make up for this even with the high rake.
I'm not entirely sure yet if I'll move up after these 5k hands, because I would like to end NL100 as a winner :/, I guess I'll decide that when I reach the 5k mark and I'm also positive I am a winner at these stakes, so I can still turn it around.
