I are a winnah!

2200 hands tonight, +$240. Played questionably ran well, doing very well when my full ring games went to HU. Usually I just sit out when a table gets shorthanded, but I'm discovering more and more that the average FR player is completely lost when it comes to HU play. Case in point:

Goofy hand here. Very strange for him to check behind a drawy flop after flopping TP2K, and then give the shitty minbet on the turn. I couldn't believe he had a boat and knew this player had real trouble folding pair combos, making my shove +EV (albeit a little risky).

Such a bad call by him though, it's hard to get myself into the mindset that convinced me my shove was profitable. But, my First Theorum of Poker comes into play here, which is that to assume other players are thinking on your level is -EV.
