First full day of heads up goes well

nath My car's in need of repairs, so I spent most of the day at home. Luckily for me, I decided to put in some hands at $1/$2 heads up.

I had a really, really good day and I feel like I played really, really well. Dropping down has helped my confidence a ton, since I feel I'm clearly better than the opponents I face, and I don't mind losing a buyin if I get caught doing something crazy.

There isn't a whole lot interesting to report handwise, although I did have a fun spot where after I check-raise bluffed a chronic minbetter on the turn and bet again on the river and showed four high after he folded, I stacked him two hands later when he called my river shove with the nut straight with... queen high.

I just feel like at these stakes I'm playing much more fearlessly, and not worrying about the variance really opens up my game and lets me run over my opponents. I'm hoping that I can keep this consistent. I won't make this much every day, but if I play this well, I have no doubt I'll show big consistent results.

Nothing like a nice $1/2 NL mauling session to get your rhythm back. Have 'em toss a nice set of rims on your rig while it's in the shop courtesy of the 4-high bluff!

This is interesting. Where are you playing? Are you single or multi-tabling? Can you give us a sense of how much you can make an hour per table at these stakes? I'm really curious because I used to play exclusively heads-up, but it was SnG style. Usually played in the $100-200 limits.

Glad your confidence is back. That can make all the difference.

I just wrapped up another session. Give me a minute and I'll have an entry up soon with more details on what I've been doing this week.
