Alright so i never play HU because i hate the rake compared to roi but i was feeling like playing something so i decided to play a 1$ hu match. lo and behold royal was waiting in the lobby.
So off we go and its seeming like its going to be a long game. As soon as i think that i pick 88. i bet 35 in Royals bb and he promptly calls. flop comes 952 with two hearts. i check. he bets i call. turn is another 9 and also a heart. check check. river 8 of hearts. i coyly lead out hoping he has the A. my bet of 60 is met with a raise to 540? gadzooks i got him. A of hearts i ask him? he says no... lol i dive. he snaps me off with 98.
dun dun dunnnnnnnnn. my hats off to you royal!! GG

I play most of the time HU on Pokerstar >5500 micro stakes HU (Turbo and Hyper Turbo). If you play HU yo u will discover how to play and how to read opponents when on other tables finnally you got chance to play Hu and in situation when you isolate others players on table how to playagainst 1 or 2 remaning players

Hahaha! Very funny, it remembers me of that very old poker player in a WSOP, and he started joking with his opponent saying he couldn’t see the cards on the table and he hardly hear the croupier telling him the cards, and then he showed his winning hand… His young opponent couldn’t believe what he was seeing! You lost, but it was a nice hand. When I first start reading, I thought it was 9,8 and 5 hearts in the table and that he would show you 76hearts! That would be even better… for him!

Typically i am hyper aggro here but more then just money was on the line so i clamed up.
Yes i should have listed the actual cards and suit. My hand history can only really be Screen shot to be shown i think and it would be more then one i think for most hands. They dont seem to have a export to email option sadly.

lol.
