Paradise 5/10 HU.

I have 9 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif5 /images/graemlins/spade.gif in the BB.

He raises, I call.

Flop: 7 /images/graemlins/club.gifA /images/graemlins/heart.gif4 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif

I check, he bets, I raise, he raises, I call.

Turn: 2 /images/graemlins/spade.gif

I check, he bets, I call.

River: 4 /images/graemlins/club.gif

I check, he bets, I raise, he raises, I 4-bet, he folds.

I show.

Standard?

You missed bets on the turn.

I have no idea, before I figure out what he has, I want to know what was running through your mind. Your call on the turn and your cap on the river?

Must be a 2+2'er.

This was at the pinnacle of the laggy part of the session, he was in uber-aggro-mode. I absolutely did not believe his 3-bet on the flop (but I'd seen him recently cap the flop just on a draw, and it's a 6-bet cap) and on the turn I had odds to draw to the ISD or a 9 (which probably would have been good).

On the river . . . well, somethings I can explain, and some things I can't /images/graemlins/grin.gif.

Sometimes you have to slowplay your 9-high.

If it is I'm callin' him out /images/graemlins/smile.gif. We were actually fairly even in skill level, but I ended up winning the session by 20BB or so. He'll recognize this hand . . . and my Paradise Poker handle, which is simply "Grisgra".

If he's a 2+2'er that hangs out in HUSH, he knew what he was getting himself into, going after the captain of the winning HULA team. /images/graemlins/wink.gif
