Obviously I got lucky, but was this a decent move in the first place?

do you play poker stars too dids?

[B Dids]

I've done the freeroll they have on the weekends, that's it.

Why- this move so bad you want to play me?

[Nemesis]

i thought i did play you last night... some guy at the table named b-dudster. And yeah the move is bad... my bank roll has gone down the shitter.

[B Dids]

Not me, I'm B Dids on there too- same picture as on here.

I think heads up, PF minraising [at least] with Q9o is fine, it's in my raising requirements.

Leaning on them on the flop is acceptable, but all-in is risky. Of course, they flopped the nuts. So yeah, lucky r-r draw, but you were ahead pre-flop, so nice raise there, and a flop bet is pretty required. Any less than all-in allows you more leeway.

did you win? with 6000 chips you should have /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Yup. Took him out 2 hands later.

I think moving all-in every hand heads up against is a good play.

However, in this case, I think the blinds are too small to make this play correct. I would wait until the blinds are 300-600.

Definitely a good play. Straight draw with overcard a definite push for me. You were unlucky to get called by the straight and lucky to hit the backdoor flush.
