45s - 5/10 - I hate money
 

CO is TAG-ish. Flop bettor is an idiot. I had planned to play this passively, but when it got down to HU on the turn, I saw an opportunity. Is this spewy or good?

I like it.

What do you do when he calls and you don't improve on the river? What do you do if you hit your weak pairs on the river?

Re: 45s - 5/10 - I hate money
 

I keep gunning if he calls, I expect him to call the turn. I was just trying to set up some river fold equity vs his weaker hands (most of which are flush draws).

I check-call my weak pairs.

Re: 45s - 5/10 - I hate money
 

If the idea is to take out a better flush draw, he's got to bet the river unimproved, and I assume cc with a little help.

I'm not crazy about this move against a TAG/unknown. I just don't think he has a laydown hand often enough to justify the extra 2BB.

Sounds like you have a good plan.

It's not actually 2 extra WHOLE BBs. I have 15 outs against a made hand, so it's a fraction (maybe 2/3s?) of a BB each street.

EDIT: I'm also CRing a 6, bet/3betting an A, and bet/calling if I hit a flush.

Its okkkkk, not a huge fan but I don't mind it. Most Q's are calling down here, two pairs are 3-beting, same with sets, I guess this is one of those No-limit style plays where you bluff with outs.

Board needs to be a bit scarier for mine, but against a TAG its ok.

Re: 45s - 5/10 - I hate money
 

Sorry, I missed the OESD component. I agree - with your very decent equity this move has good risk/reward.
