So I actually got some hours in today. Not much but it feels good to be back in the game! I have also bought HEM and am figuring it out now. It seems to be very very good for 6-max play but for HU I think PT2 and PAHUD is good enough. It got some cool features though and I def. think its worth the $80.

I actually played 6-max for the first time in 2 months. I dunno if its smart to move up to 2/4 and 7-table after not having touched the game for a long time but it worked out good and I ended up 3 buy-ins.

Some hands:

Hero showed T T (two pair, Tens and Sixes) and LOST (-$406 NET)

BTN is a 31/9 donk and UTG a reg on the loser side. I have played him heads up at 1/2 and he sees me as aggro (and probably good but dunno about that ). I think this is fairly standard but I guess we can make case for coldcalling pre. As it plays out I cant really fold since UTG shoves QQ+ pre and I dont see many 6s in his range. I might be assigning too wide of a range to my villains though since I'm still thinking about the hands as they would be played HU.

I got a bit berated by the villain after that hand but I felt fairly good about calling here after checking twice. Villain is not the kind of player to valuebet thinly I have to add

Now its time for beers on the beach! More playing tomorrow!
