Re: 5-10 UB Heads up: two hands vs an aggressive
i think the PFR with 52s is terrible. 52s is a 38% underdog vs a random hand, you want to be raising those above 50% (maybe some marginal losers for image purposes or a vast skill edge). raising 52s is a spewfest.
the flop - you're calling with what? give up man.
the turn - you either have the reading skills to beat the pros or you are still spewing.
river - i would check it, but i'd also have folded PF, so what do i know.
Hand 2
82s has 40% equity against a random hand, and you're getting 3-1. Even if he is loose, pretty much every hand is a call. I like this hand because you can expect a tilting player to overplay top pair here, maybe 88, maybe a small pocket that hasn't hit the set. I prefer the stop-and-go to the c/r as a tilting player may get more scared by a flop c/r to the stop-and-go which usually passes under the radar of a tilter.
In summary, hand 2 makes up for the totally atrocious way you played hand 1. I'd like to hear other comments on hand 1 because i am flummoxed as to when that is ever good play.
