Hi, I've been playing poker nearly a year now and have gained a fair understanding of the game. I have a friend who has just started playing online poker and has this 'problem' where everything I think I'm good at, he thinks he's better than me at. So even though he's played less than 1000 hands, doesn't raise pre-flop with ANY HAND and bets around 3x the pot if he has the nuts, he thinks he's better than me.
Therefore I challenged him to 100 games of heads-up poker with constant blinds and 100 big blinds starting stacks (Except the first 15 games which we played with physical chips and had around 50 big blinds), £2 per game. I thought that this would be the easiest money ever. So far we have played 16 games and he is currently leading 9-7. Here are some of the hands which gave him 9 victories:
Me AT, him KT. Flop comes ATx and we get it all in, turn is a J, river a Q.
Me KK, him QT. Board come AKxx, we go all in on turn and up pops the magic Jack.
Me A8, him JJ. Board comes AK8, he donks 2x the pot, I re-raise, he calls and turn is a J and he get it all in.
I have been playing aggressively pre-flop with a reasonable range (he doesn't fold much) which includes suited connectors and all the usual suspects. My questions are:
Can his luck hold out enough for him to win the majority of the games?
How should I be playing against someone with no clue whatsoever?
Edit: as a side note, these are not hands where I have few chips left, they are KEY HANDS in separate matches.
Thanks
