TT HU in the blinds

[MHarris]

I've been having a bit of trouble HU out of position lately.....and wimping out. Villain here is LAG (32/12, 2.0 TA).

Which street(s) would you have played differently?

HU against a moderately loose, moderately aggressive player, I'd c/r the turn. That'll probably fold him if he doesn't have at least top pair, so if he calls, check the river &amp; hope he checks through so I don't have to decide whether or not to call a bet there.

If Villain is a LAG I'd 3-bet the flop and slow down if capped; either call down or check/fold turn. Against anyone else I'd probably play it the way you did. Had the turn been a card that didn't give you a gutshot draw, like a 2, then I'd bet the turn and fold to a raise, and if just called, bet a safe river.

3bet the flop, he can raise you with alot of stuff when he has position and it´s HU. bet the turn and river, call down if raised on either street.

Check. Raise. the turn.....

Yep, you are good here most of the time....
