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

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.

yeah, lets discuss the general idea of "Can playing ultra aggressive in HU NLHE be profitable"

ready... go!

Yes.

it's like flipping a coin to win headup tourney, eventually you'll be even. So you lose to the rake.

Typing '+1' is much easier way to boost a post count.

nuff said.

+1

Point proven. Min_falcon will make 200 posts withut even breaking a sweat. It's just so much more efficient way to bring no content and waste people's time. At least the post count looks better.

Didn't think these were allowed in Strat. Lock it up.
