My Zero to Hero Thread

Congrats man you are doing well. I would try to play slightly more aggressive when you hit on the flop in your HU SNg's but good job

Of course.

Lost my BR a bit today when I hoped to win in a ring game. Like I learned when I was young: Never drink beer in the morning. I fortunately got it back when I 'played' a HU Sn'G---guy was a KING ranked HU plr but he couldn't answer or solve my riddles; too much speed in my play for him to compensate the wrong answers proved by showing my bluffs.

Got him all-in when I called a flop bet with nothing hoping to raise a flush draw on the turn:
