HU turn semibluff
Button is unknown, second hand or so. I think this works in my favor, he won't assume I am crazy from the get go. Big blind is button.

Re: HU turn semibluff
You trying to see how much he likes his set? Maybe the $400 game is a lot different from the $200, but you either are gonna get an autofold (good) or your worst nightmare (set of 8's or 9's). No way I'm laying down a set without a solid read.
Of course, if villain is a 2+2er, he will immediately curl into the fetal position, cry out for his mother (from the basement) and fold to the dreaded turn check-raise (at least that's what I did last night [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] ), so maybe you are on to something here. |
Re: HU turn semibluff
You do realize we're only two players at the table? I am not looking to fold out a set here...

Re: HU turn semibluff
I suck at this HU thing, so forgive my noobness. HU, aren't most sane players going to the wall with TPGK or better?

Re: HU turn semibluff
Which is why you're probably not going to get a big ace to fold either.
You've got a really weak draw and he's shown some confidence in his hand. |
Re: HU turn semibluff
I am far from a headsup expert.
However, he seems to like his hand..he probably has a decent ace here, and you know he's not putting you on 10 7 or something..he knows the 6 didn't help...so it really comes down to whether or not he'll fold his ace. If his kicker sucks he might...but it seems risky and your draw sucks. |
Re: HU turn semibluff
I was hoping to fold out AK some % of the time at least. Maybe this is too much to hope for. Sometimes I have the best hand here too, although I agree he's played it pretty strong.

[/ QUOTE ] Many times you'll get re-raised PF with AK/AQ. If not, often you'll just get a flat-call on the flop hoping you fire big on the turn. His flop min-raise looks like A with a weak kicker to me looking to slow you down a little. But when you call & he bets the turn you must consider the possibility that he has a decent kicker or maybe even 2pair, possibly turned. Dunno, I think on the 2nd hand you maybe get away with this just about enough to make it worthwhile. |
