HU 3/6 Chairman tries to read hands
 

Read on villian is that he is a little passive compared to most people when playing HU. However, I have seen him semibluff and semibluff raise, c/r semibluff some flush draws not today but on other days, bet decent hands. But he hasn't gotten out of line. I think he thinks i'm a little wacko and has employed the strategy of I check and I will let him hang himself when I flop bottom pair. I'm not sure but I think I up about 5 bets on him at this point.

If you guys are kind enough to respond and wish my further input I will be back in an hour. Sorry, dinner time.

you have top 2 pair in a HU game, on a board that's not 4 to a straight and has no flush possibilities. Yes 3 bet and call a cap.

what jinx said...and dont play 3/6 HU--as cool as you feel doing it the rake is a killer. Its not +EV unless you have a monster edge on this guy. and when you have a monster edge you know you own the guy and you dont have to post hands afterwards.

The checkraise on the river is scary IMO. It may be MUBS, but I probably just call this in the moment.

This certainly could be (probably is) a lower two pair, so a three-bet is probably best.

Re: HU 3/6 Chairman tries to read hands
 

as others have said, 3bet and call a cap. you can't fear 45 or a pocket pair [which should have 3bet PF] here. under 2pr definitely possible.

I'm not really new here but what is MUBS?

Re: HU 3/6 Chairman tries to read hands
 

I appreciate everyone's comments. I know nearly everyone said that it is much more likely he has an under two pair due to hand distrubtions than 45 or 66 and that is the reason I should 3-bet but does anyone really dismiss the idea that he has 45 by his lack of aggresion on previous streets?

Edit: I wrote that wrong. I needed to change that to say does anyone eliminate the possiblity of him having 45 due to his lack of aggresion on previous streets. If he had that hand he would have semibluffed in some manner.

You can't fear monsters under the bed or you'll miss lots of value bets.
