pt special 0 Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 theres a guy on FTP TakeYouByStorm hes super agro has been playing HU for past 4 or 5 months ago, i first saw him at 5 10 6 max and was by far the most aggressive player i have ever seen he either raises or reraises pf or folds, causing him to pretty much always felt with top pair and a lot of marginal hands. Fluffdog thinks that this strategy can be used profitably against good players, i disagree, i think he can throttle weak players but not solid HU regulars, he went to 10 20 and 25 50 and completely dominated then the players switched up styles and gave him a beating which caused him to go busto and i have been seeing him sparatically, i just want some peoples thoughts on if he can beat the game with this type of strategy......dont get me wrong i think he causes players to tilt and make bad decisions but overall i just think its a -EV way to play, please post thoughts.Here are a couple hands where he made a couple marginal desicions that cost him some big pots, ill post some of his big winning hands when they come around Full Tilt Poker Game #2952908702: Table Vita (heads up) - $2/$4 - No Limit Hold'em - 9:18:40 ET - 2007/07/15Seat 1: TakeYouByStorm ($714.50)Seat 2: 22magicmosh22 ($435.50)22magicmosh22 posts the small blind of $2TakeYouByStorm posts the big blind of $4The button is in seat #2*** HOLE CARDS ***22magicmosh22 raises to $12TakeYouByStorm raises to $3622magicmosh22 has 15 seconds left to act22magicmosh22 raises to $111TakeYouByStorm raises to $714.50, and is all in22magicmosh22 calls $324.50, and is all inTakeYouByStorm shows [6h 7h]22magicmosh22 shows [Ad Kd]Uncalled bet of $279 returned to TakeYouByStorm*** FLOP *** [Jd Kc 6c]*** TURN *** [Jd Kc 6c] [Th]*** RIVER *** [Jd Kc 6c Th] [4d]TakeYouByStorm shows a pair of Sixes22magicmosh22 shows a pair of Kings22magicmosh22 wins the pot ($870.50) with a pair of Kings*** SUMMARY ***Total pot $871 | Rake $0.50Board: [Jd Kc 6c Th 4d]Seat 1: TakeYouByStorm (big blind) showed [6h 7h] and lost with a pair of SixesSeat 2: 22magicmosh22 (small blind) showed [Ad Kd] and won ($870.50) with a pair of KingsFull Tilt Poker Game #2952923785: Table Echo (heads up) - $2/$4 - No Limit Hold'em - 9:22:33 ET - 2007/07/15Seat 1: StateTrooper ($772.10)Seat 2: TakeYouByStorm ($613.10)TakeYouByStorm posts the small blind of $2StateTrooper posts the big blind of $4The button is in seat #2*** HOLE CARDS ***TakeYouByStorm raises to $12StateTrooper raises to $36TakeYouByStorm calls $24*** FLOP *** [3s Td 2h]StateTrooper bets $72TakeYouByStorm calls $72*** TURN *** [3s Td 2h] [Jd]StateTrooper bets $664.10, and is all inTakeYouByStorm calls $505.10, and is all inStateTrooper shows [Kc Kd]TakeYouByStorm shows [Ts Ad]Uncalled bet of $159 returned to StateTrooper*** RIVER *** [3s Td 2h Jd] [6s]StateTrooper shows a pair of KingsTakeYouByStorm shows a pair of TensStateTrooper wins the pot ($1,225.70) with a pair of KingsTakeYouByStorm is sitting out*** SUMMARY ***Total pot $1,226.20 | Rake $0.50Board: [3s Td 2h Jd 6s]Seat 1: StateTrooper (big blind) showed [Kc Kd] and won ($1,225.70) with a pair of KingsSeat 2: TakeYouByStorm (small blind) showed [Ts Ad] and lost with a pair of Tens Link to post Share on other sites
No_Neck 0 Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 obv e isn't going to win money by calling allins with 67h, but I think if he could learn to slow down and when to slow down he could dominate. Link to post Share on other sites
