I think this is pretty standard
 

One from a very short HU session -- the guy left after about 20 hands. We haven't had too much aggression in the match yet.

He's the SB/Button. He limps. He hasn't done this much -- he's been folding his SB a fair amount, folding it occasionally, has maybe limped it once.

He limps, I raise Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], he calls.

Flop Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. I bet, he raises, I 3-bet, he calls. Turn is the 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. I bet, he calls.

River is the 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. I bet, he raises, I call.

Hi Rob,

I think that you played this hand fine. An alternative line that I take sometimes HU is to call his flop raise and then raise any turn. Problem here is that you're not sure that he's betting the turn. But whatever.

Best Regards,

John

It might be standard, but I suck HU, so I would check/call the river. You're not pushing him off a straight and you give him a chance to bluff if he doesn't have it. Getting raised sucks.

I'm not betting to push him off a straight.

I even considered 3-betting the river for value.

Re: I think this is pretty standard
 

You could 3bet for value here. I don't know though, I don't think he has 2 pair way more often than a straight, so it could be close.

Everything else looks good to me.

As someone already said, I might have just called the flop bet, with plans to raise the turn. But I actually think I resort to this line way too often and that your line might be better.
