So seeing as we're playing a bunch of games for the "Well HUsNG in 2011" series, I thought it might be fun to record the games and post them with some commentary. I don't play HU really, so figured it could be informative for us all. I hope to have some co-commentators in later vids, but this first one is just me. It's only 14 minutes, and is available in Xvid/AVI and QuickTime from our Videos page. The softward needed to play these is free and links are at the top of that page.

Critterbug was running about 62/22 over the match.

fletch_smf ? ? ?So, obviously a tremendous flop for me, but he limped called pre, so the chances of him having an Ace are pretty slim, and I don't know if he's going to continue with much else. The few times I've seen action from him he's connected with the board, whilst he's been happy to call behind with draws. This is a pretty mandatory C Bet and hope he's got a broadway card to continue with?

fletch_smf ? ? ?I haven't done a lot of double barrelling, so betting again on that blank is going to look very strong. Should I check call and risk giving draws a free look for the chance of getting more value on the river?

So I did not like the way I played this hand. Is the C Bet a mistake? Should I be firing again anywhere? He's got about 600 left on the turn ...
