Had a busy week so not played that much.
I can across a post on someone's blog (for the life of me I can't remember who!) about going from $1 to $1,000,000 in one day. From what I remember it involved starting out at the lowest possible stakes and moving up whenever you have a buyin for the next highest level. The blogger in question was going to apply this to headsup games rather than general ring games.
I gave this some thought....and thought I try out some HU SnGs. Now I'm not an experienced HU player, in fact I think I've played two, won one and lost one, so I was a bit nervous even though I was starting at a $2 level.
First game - pretty easy in the end. My opponent didn't have much in his toolbox, with the all-in being his favourite move, especially with mid-pairs which he was kind enough to show me. I just chipped up gradually and wore him down. Final hand was in the second level. He pushed with A7 and I called with AJ and it held up. So $4 to me. Woo hoo!
Second game - I saw there was a player sitting at a $5 limit HU SnG table. Now I think I'm a better limit player than NL and so I joined him. Again, fairly easy. My opponent hardly ever raised from the SB, letting me see far too many flops for free. Seeing a free flop with 86 and catching an open ended straight draw is fantastic. I got lucky on the final hand, catching a full house on the river but I think I had the better of him. $10 to me. Woo hoo!
I'd love to say that I continued up the levels winning each one but I didn't. I stopped there for the evening a thought more about the strategy. I started it again last night but stopped after I won the first match as I was feeling a bit queezy.
Maybe at the weekend.
Don't forget this week's Bloggerment tournie. Pokerstars, 9pm. Private Tournie tab. $5. Full details in the image to the left.
