22 Worst HU play of all time sends me flying on tilt

PlateFish - "Wtf are you doing??"
Villain - "I was waiting for a 2"



Straights are overrated in HU.

Tilted off a buyin immediately after with 88 vs his KK all in pre.

IT was easily the worst I have seen. Every street he played as far -EV as he can. From the call preflop to the check on the river. Absolutely steamed. And then this...

Na, hand replayer obviously doesn't like the site's HH format. I just open shoved it, this guy was playing horrendously loose.

-First say "NH" sincerely and mean it.
-Second mark in the note for them: Calls 3bets lightly. Calls pot size flop bets with Ace high plus gutter.(I don't think the turn is entirely awful.) Also unlikely to bet value bet the river lightly.
-Third thank whatever higher power you believe in(God, the Sun, the Poker Gods above) that you get to play with this player.
-Fourth why on earth would you tilt given above.

I was playing 6max and it dropped to HU. I take HU cash matches far too personally and I can't think of anything more I hate in poker than someone playing terribly and making decent cash off of it. So I got personal and tilted (although against this guy 88 isn't necessarily a bad ship in pre). After realising that if I stayed longer I'd lose my entire roll to this guy, I decided to leave.

Sucker straight draw as potentially your only outs and a 25bb bet to call. It's worse than awful to even consider this. Unless you're getting something like 9 to 1.

His mistakes are calling too light though not raising. And when he made his hand he still wasn't content betting the river. To me, this means he's more likely to be stronger on his "willing to ship" type range preflop.

We're getting close to 3 to 1 and make our straight hand 5 to 1. The only hand we have to worry about if we hit our straight is 77. The fact that your range probably only contains overpairs, AT, sets, maybe 99-77 means we're probably getting something when we hit our outs...if we bet. We also have position. I'm not saying its a clear cut call or anything but its fairly close.
