Adapting to terrible players/call stations

by jiacstrap on 03/31/08

Been on a nice run playing the 115's. Got my sharkscope down to 3, 690 and I need to rack up a little over 1k in fpp's. I played a lot yesterday, sometimes one tabling, sometimes 4 tabling. The main thing I noticed was my record vs. players with a very high ROI or on a leaderboard on sharkscope for their heads up play were my easiest matches. I was having problems with the worst players on sharkscope. Only because I did not adapt to how they play. You can't bluff a fish, and in HU SNG it's tough to even continuation bet without a hand. You can value bet deuces on these oppenents most of the time. But betting with air is -EV vs. these clowns and there is no reason to semi bluff draws at all. They pay you off anyway so hit them as cheap as you can.

The bankroll is up to 2900. I lost in the 2nd round of the 215 HU tourney and played a couple 55 dollar MTT's. I played well in the HU tourney and lost 2 races in the same match = can't win vs. a good player. I think im going to play against next weekend. I like playing good players, it will only make me better. I also feel like I used to be afraid of playing the best players, they lose games too..... A big portion of the field was also MTT reg's who don't know how to play HU optimally.
