UB work...



I played about 50 minutes of 50nl on UB tonight...mainly heads-up on two different tables. I won $161.65 with $125.40 coming from the heads-up play. I am not the best heads-up player, but it is a skill that fascinates me the most in poker. I had a good night of assigning hand ranges and getting paid on my quality hands.

The first opponent was a good player who had a 5 buy-in stack when I sat with $50 max buyin. I think I just outcarded him tonight. He probably wins money from me if we play long enough...He let me see the river in one hand and it cost him a losing session against me...

My second opponent was not as good, but was very aggressive...I did seem to pick up a bet pattern where he made bigger bets when he was weak and smaller bets when he was strong. I tried to use this information as best I could. He was a frequent 3 and 4-better PF which made me defend some marginal hands in situations I normally wouldn't. He was much easier to read post-flop and outplay in most situations.
