Re: Preflopstrategy HU - how can i play vs...
Was just some stuff to think about. A lot of the advice really needs to be applied to a specific player type though, but that advice is some ideas on how you can adjust to an opponents strategy.
You need to have a check/calling range HU OOP and not having one is going to be a leak imo.
Simply put...
If you eliminate a check/call from your flop options then you're left with:
Lead
Check/fold
Check/raise
I don't think you're leading out too often but I could be wrong?
If the majority of the time you are check/raising or check/folding and that is a very hard, if not almost impossible action to balance. If you check/fold too often then you'll be cbet to death and you'll give a good read on your check/raising range and let your opponent make very clear and correct decisions when you do check/raise.
If you check/raise a high % then his calling or shoving requirements will drop to counter that strategy and he will also cbet less frequently but a stronger range.
Having a check/calling range...and balancing that range helps balance out those two other actions (check/raise and check/fold) so you're less exploitable and harder to play against. It also makes it easier for you to win at showdown with less than premium hands which you may not be currently winning with because they don't qualify in your leading or check/raising range.
