Fix the hand.

Also, post relevant OOP or IP stats (for preflop stats I'd do steal/flat BB to steal/3bet). Something like VP/PFR is near-meaningless HU, though 3bet stats are much more useful than they are in 6max or FR (since by default every 3bet is OOP vs button steal).

Need help converting Cake hands from HM

I have deleted the link, because it doesn't work. I need help convertingmy LocK poker hands from HM. I am anxious to start posting hands but cannot successfully convert any of them.

That's the best I can do as far as getting the hand posted. Have tried many converters, but none work (including the CC converter.)

LOL fish. :D

Anyway, bet half-pot OTT and OTR for thin value (2nd pair middle kicker usually isn't good for pot-bombing 3 streets even HU vs fish), and fold to river raise. Passive stations don't raise without a hand.

Also I'd honestly consider overbetting flop because to hell with balance, this guy is horrible.

Thanks for fixing the hand for me!

Could you tell me how you did that? And fwiw, the stats for hero (VPIP/PFR) are not correct at all for HU. Those stats include all the hands I've played at Lock including my $4NL stats from last year when, yes, I played like a nitty fish. Aside from that, please tell me why the hand was entertaining. I assure you, I have a few more I would like to post that might be considered entertaining, lol.

HU relys a lot on reads and stats and knowledge on villain, but against an unknown I don't mind donking the flop just make sure you merge your range there though. Agree with aleksie saying half pot turn. As played give up river, no room for value ild want to x/f maybe check call if I had been playing with villain longer and had good stats and reads
