I was so impressed with Jesus Ferguson during this years HU Championship. I know he is a great player, but I've seen some very questionable moves when he's been on PokerSuperstars (stupid structure though on PSSuperstars - all-in fest).
Anyway Jesus was down 7-1 in chips and came back to win. It did take some bad plays by Jonathan Little, but it was impressive how patient Jesus was.
Usually when I get short stacked like that I get too impatient in the past. Watch TV poker has made me a better play due to learning how patient I need to be. Just because I have 10BB's doesn't mean I have to play crazy and hope to get lucky. You can really be more patient and pick my spots better depending on the situation (who is on my left and how have they been playing ect.).
Watching this hole tournament on TV has been so educational when it comes to HU. Watching online HU is tuff cause no hole cards. Watching HU of big tournaments does help either cause they tend to be all-in fests. The HU tournament was extemely interesting.
PS - On a side note... I started watching Dario when he plays HU and it seems like he just plays SUPER aggressive and trys to get lucky. I've never seen Dario slow down or anything. I've seen Dario reraise when reraised with K7o with an ace on the flop. To me that doesn't seem like smart HU poker. It seems more like I hope he doesn't have an ace and I am going to rep it. Oh crap the guy had an ace and now I'm screwed kind of poker.
