New Love

As you may know, I have a real fondness for Heads Up games. My newest love is a variation on this game. Poker Stars has a Sit n Go Heads Up format for 4 players. It is available anytime. You play one player if you win then you play another. Beat these 2 and you win. I have been playing the $5.25 which pays $20. Yesterday, I won 3 of these and lost 2, which resulted in a $ profit.

So check this out. If you play 4, below is your profit/loss opportunity:

Win 0/4 = $ -21.00
Win 1/4 = $ -1.00
Win 2/4 = $ 19.00
Win 3/4 = $ 39.00
Win 4/4 = $ 59.00

I think this is a much better value than playing Heads Up straight matches. Playing 4 HU matches straight up for $5.25 would only give you a $19.00 profit compared to the $59.00 profit with this format. And given my track record for HU matches at winning slightly over 50% of the time. This seems like an excellent opportunity for yours truly.

So check it out and let me know how it turns out.

Now for the bad news, I took a blow from TraumaPoker (aka 100-2-Infinity) yesterday. He beat me in two Heads Up matches yesterday. Both excellent games. I am not great on details when I am the losing party..lol..unless it is a suckout or lucky sucker..which is not the case with Trauma. He play solid in both games. I also need to reward him with a poker bounty. Congrats Trauma! Good luck in the last round of the HUC2.

I have added my Heads Up stats to date on the sidebar for your reference.

Good luck all...

Yo, we have got to play in one of these 4-person HU SNGs together some time. Maybe we can even get 4 of us in it.

I played one and lost. The interesting thing was that I beat the first guy so fast that I had 15 minutes of watching the other two go at it. It helped me get a read on my eventual competition, but, as the beginning of this story reveals, the read wasn't enough (and may've hurt considering my last call).
