My question about this isn't actually about the villian in the hand, who was a maniac and had J high, I think. I'm curious if we alter the hand a little bit and say that villian is fairly tight and was BB and could have anything, what do I do on the river? Two pair is now counterfeited, but I'm still beating top pair and any non-set PP besides aces. If villian is calling a river bet here with a 7, 4, or 2 and raising any hands that beat me, but only betting hands that have me beat when checked to, do I put in the bet?


Also, random assorted other questions:
Are there any sites that offer heads up 5/10 tables?

What kind of bankroll do you recommend for 10/20 - I've tried it, and the first day I had a +$5000 day which was followed by two -$2700 days, at which point I decided the swings were too much so I moved back down. Now, it should naturally be mentioned that this was 4-tabling. While this is probably a bad idea, I lose focus if I'm playing less than 4 tables and start doing other things (I'm 3-tabling while I write this). So ignoring that bad habit, how much do I need to 4-table 10/20?

And, finally - if it's folded to a maniac on the button who puts in a raise, knowing he has any 2, what's my play with 2 low unsuited semiconnected cards (46, 58, etc.)? Do I make the call hoping to pair up and either play it aggressive or call down depending on the board, or do I just give it up?

I think all the sites on Prima Network have HU holdem. Battlefieldpoker, royalvegas, Crazypoker..etc.

The general consensus is 500BB, or 10k. I would make sure you are beating 5-10 over a pretty large range of hands (50k+).

as far as the hand goes, I'm check/calling the river, stars players on the whole are a bit more passive then the stupid aggression that you find at party(at least I've found this at 10/20 and a bit of the 5/10 that I play on stars, but I mainly play on party)

Just have the BR for 10/20 and beat 5/10 for 500 bb and you'll be fine. The diference between 5/10 and 10/20 isnt that big.


Also the 10/20 game on stars is so soft.
