Ok so i play a little PLO8 but don't think i have ever played it heads up.
@lfccarl posted a week of so ago for a heads up challenge, it seems nobody responded, so working on my principle that an actual 'challenge' should be just that and a little outside your comfort zone i have decided to take him up on it.
I realise that i will need the variance on my side to stand any sort of chance and do not have a clue how experienced they are.
2 Tables
First to 50 wins, with the option for the player behind to increase this to 1st to 100 wins.
Day 1 will be Monday 5th at 7pm probably playing for just an hour.
Day 2 Tuesday 7pm - 9pm
I suppose i had better play a few games before the challenge starts.

I would expect the match to finish not much different than 50/50. Coo1-um knows hi lo, LfcCarl gambles it up with very weak holdings that he doesnt realise are indeed weak, so we will have Coo1-um winning games and Carl getting the help beyond maths to bounce back.
Its why i wouldnt want to play 100 games with an online deck with Carlo. Its the type of player the deck will get 'stuck providing unbelievable maths' with, especiallly game after game.
I will play anybody, but clearly my times are not their times and evenings are not generally for me. Having said that, I was having a game at 10pm or so the other night and i got a guy in the chatbox saying i was full of shite cos i was playing at night!
I didnt realise that i had to keep to it!
The second game, he was very close to winning, very close. The first, i was in control the whole game.
'Pressing buttons' is much better technique online, no hands are required to achieve an improved chance of winning if you are struggling playing genuine poker.
Its true at least the comment about the second game, Reason i did not know i had accepted the rematch wasn't expecting that, and was going out. As i had no time to look at anything i thought it would be more fun just raising every hand rather than just sitting out. Just a shame i could not see the comments being typed in the chat, that would have made it more worthwhile.
First game however i would dispute 'being in control' the whole game, and although i did hit every river when needed (apparently) it took to level 6 for the game to be decided by that time its almost all in every hand.
Did play 2 other games against one opponent and won them both.
Practice played 5, won 2 lost 3.
My heads up skills aren't the best, so I would also be up for a few matches at some point in the future to help try and improve.
You flopped a nut straight and i congratulated you on it at the time as it was something id had hold once in hundreds.......
Id even said a thousand times, if you play in a manner that you are actually trying to lose, you have a better chance. You cant deny as you did not mean to join the game, you were shoving/calling with complete nothingness most of the time and nearly won over a 30min game....
You may all say i talk rubbish, but i describe long odds rivers with nothing hands, players playing in this manner and not being able to giveaway cheaply and opponents flopping straights that hold... all of which happened in this game! What more can i say....
Learnt more in the 2 losses than any win, both against the same opponent these games showed i have such a long way to go.
Total so far 12 games 7 wins 5 Losses.
Does Kinda ever comment something that makes sense!? When theres still 2 cards to come, the all in air is making a better hand via runners. Do i really have to explain this!??
