5/5 heads up live

live shorthanded game that has broken down to just us. we've been playing heads up for about 30 minutes and four hours at the full table. my image is tag. villian is tightish and a little off. not a total fish, just has a slight misunderstanding about the fundementals about the game. villian has ~700. Hero covers.

preflop: villan raises to 25, i call in the bb/button w/ 5/images/graemlins/diamond.gif7/images/graemlins/diamond.gif.

flop ($50): 4/images/graemlins/spade.gif6/images/graemlins/spade.gif3/images/graemlins/diamond.gif. villian checks, i bet $45, villian raises to $200. i call.

turn ($450)J/images/graemlins/heart.gif. villian bets $100. i re-raise to $200. he calls.

river ($850):9/images/graemlins/spade.gif Hero...

Raise more, like all in

edit: not to mention 3-bet the flop

i think I got a little too tricky. no one likes a moderate slow play?

[Big_Jim]

Hero.... waits for villian to act, and then makes his play depending on what he does. Probably just calling a bet, and pushing if he checks (can't bet/fold due to stack sizes here).... but maybe checking behind if you think he'd go for a c/r. Villian's hand reeks of flush here.

Flop call is fine, since you're likely to get a good bet out of him on the turn, although I would frequently 3-bet.

Your turn raise is pretty bad. He makes a tiny bet into the pot... it looks like he's trying to get a cheap river card/get you to come over thet top of him. In both of these situations, moving in is the play. All-in wouldn't even be a pot sized bet, here.

Definately all in on the turn.

No, i don't like the moderate slowplay depending on your read. I think you are giving him a chance to get away from a hand like 88 or 99, even though i don't understand why he would check the flop. Still I move in on the flop and hope he has something. A bad player might even call off all their stack with 55 or A5 in this case.

If I push the flop, what hands do you think he is calling with?

[FatalError]

part of the awesome tag image is 3 betting the flop or making a HUGE raise on the turn... i love sites with "bet pot" buttons because thats all i do

An all in raise on the turn is not even a pot sized bet.

Fair enough.

he checked, i pushed and he folded 55 face up.

[durrrr]

you shouldve stacked him. This was a poorly played hand. That being said, villain didnt play it too well either.

[sawseech]

it doesn't matter
push
that he raised indicates that your hand is vulnerable
there is alot of money in the pot
if nothing else it sets up further allin bets

[gol4pro]

Durr.... you sir, are a moron. If villian really wanted all of his chips in the middle THAT badly, it would have gone in on the turn.

True, hero's raise on the turn should be to 300-350, but it's going to be tough to stack 55 here.

[Big_Jim]

If Hero moves in on turn, villian calls with 555.

I agree that the re-raise on the turn was too little. It should have been a much bigger, like the size the pot.

However, I don't think it was THAT badly played and I doubt I can get stack 55 here.

As i said i think you might have been able to stack 55 on the flop

too bad villain doesnt even have the size of the pot left in his stack

push

[Rootabager]

Should have asked him if he was proud of those fives.

[Spladle Master]

Consider sucking less at poker and at life.

uhh just want to point out to some people that he has no set, only an open end straight draw

[Big_Jim]

OOps. You're right. Everything else I said is still valid.
