Hello!
So I've decided to open this thread, because I am really curious, if something like that happened to anybody else. I haven't played all games with the same opponent, just to be clear on that, but I did play all those games on the same day.
So I've played a few heads-up games at pokerstars not so long ago and I couldn't believe what was happening. In less then 15 heads up games,
I was 5 times pair over pair, when the opponent had the bigger pair.
Once I had a bigger pair, but the opponent cracked me (shocker).
Then I was set over set on flop twice in 2 games.
And one of the last games I played that day was, when I was AhKs (mine) against AsKc (opponent) pre-flop all in, and the board came 7sQsTs 6d 3s.
I would really like to know, if anyone else experienced something like that in one day?

HU has a lot more variance. If you're shocked by this then you shouldn't be playing heads up.

Also, I am guessing that you're twisting the truth a little bit...

I take it you're new to HU. I played about 50 games against one person today and heres my graph (well his graph V me 500 chips = 1bi) to give you an idea, variance is brutal:

Sounds like the only hands you are playing is all in pushes... are you pushing or are they? If you are then quit pushing with low pocket pairs

I'm not twisting the truth, honestly.
I am quite new to HU yeah, because I play mostly multi table SnG so... That graph is crazy, man.
Well, the hands I told you about were all in pre flop of course, and it just came that way with a pair, raise, 3-bet, 4-bet, all in, call... I stopped pushing lower pairs after that session, trust me...

This is gona happen in heads up, variance is huge. If its tilting you, take a break read some books, drop a level or play some play chips, till u can handle the swings
