BB is a LAG. Once he senses weakness he attacks so I decided to play this hand differently from my normal line.
Party Poker 5/10 Hold'em (6 max, 6 handed)
Preflop: Hero is CO with A/images/graemlins/spade.gif, Q/images/graemlins/heart.gif.
<font color="666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="666666">2 folds</font>, BB calls.
Flop: (4.40 SB) Q/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, Q/images/graemlins/club.gif, 3/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, BB calls.
Turn: (3.20 BB) 7/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>
BB checks, Hero checks.
River: (3.20 BB) T/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">BB bets</font>, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises</font>.
Final Pot: 11.20 BB
<font color="green">Main Pot: 11.20 BB, between BB and Hero.</font>
Flop I have to bet, too suspicious otherwise. Turn I thought was a sure fold from him if I bet so I decided to get tricky since it was HU and I thought he might be capable of bluffing on the river. Does the presence of a diamond on the turn alter the situation significantly (though it is HU) and make this move questionable?
I have to add that he did in fact have a Q so in this case I missed bets /images/graemlins/mad.gif - but against the average holdings and against this type of opponent I think I may often win one more bet than if I had chosen the normal line. What do you think?
