I'm up nearly 150% for the session, head to head against a week player. Its reckless, but I'd love feedback. With overcard & outside flush draw (7.5 outs)I had 5.6:1 odds to improve, but I was counting on his draw. I did pause when I saw the J and the A since it was a small pot, I cannot lie. Comments?

heads up with a pair, bet until you meet resistance. The J is fine to bet on, don't rely on a 3rd nut diamond draw, and betting the A had balls as weaker people check-fold.

Betting like this in a small pot is more likely to win.

Comments welcome,

I like it, especially if you know he's a weak player.

Maybe someone more math-inclined than myself could calculate how often villain would have to fold the river versus how often he's holding a rag A to make that bet profitable.

My guess is that it is clearly + EV... but I could be wrong.

Using my psychic hand reading skills... I see that Villain was holding.... T6 hearts.

Either that or A2 diamonds (lol... I think NOT!).... but you can read my fortune (as long as we are not playing heads up) anytime!
