$55 HU 55 with 11 bb left OOP

$55 Full Tilt, Down to 2

Blinds 150/300

Villain (SB)(t8900)
Hero (BB) (t4600)

Dealt to hero (5s5d)

Villain makes a standard HU raise to 900 on button. Hero...?? Pushes? Calls to stop and go? Calls and makes a probe bet on a non "scary" flop? Folds? Why do you do so?

If you are villain and hero pushes back for 3700 more what range are you calling with? If hero calls and pushes the flop, how good of a hand do you need to call a 3700 bet at a pot of 1800? What do you do if you miss the flop and Hero bets out 1200 or so? Any input would be appreciated.

HU situations are... well, situational, and you're probably just going to get a lot of it depends answers. Here's one of them for you:

It depends.

Among other things, on

1) Your history in this game
2) Villain's rasing tendancies
3) Will villain call push?
4) Will villain fold flop?
5) Variations of the above, ad infintum

It depends (the count's at 2).

But I think it's a push more often than not.

[The Don]

This is a clear push. I would call with any PP, K9+, Ax if I were your opponent. Hands like QJs are close.

hero autoshoves and drags the 1200 in the pot, or wins a coinflip. holla
