50/100 NL hand vs Far
 

Ive never played him before but I know hes a high stakes Limit Player.

So far hes been playing very passive and ABC. He has made a few loose calls, and I feel that he is a loose caller. I think he is weak at pot control.

I think he has about $11,000 and I have him covered. I am not completely sure about this.
A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] in SB

I Min-Raise $200, he calls.

Flop

9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Check, I bet pot. He calls.

Turn

3 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Check, I bet $1200, He raises $4800, I push.

Thoughts and Results to follow, but Ill add that I am fairly confident that he is raising two-pair/set on flop.

I feel like you don't have much fold equity. This play only seems good if he has TPTK. Based on the way you described him it seems that he'll call with anything else in his hand range and he's not pure bluffing.

The action makes no sense. How are you SB and getting checked to?

okay, didnt realize this was a heads up hand

Re: 50/100 NL hand vs Far
 

Did you consider checking the turn here? I would always do that because a 4 and an ace are pretty disguised, and he might try to bet the hearts (or have them).

I don't know if it is, but I assume so.

I think I have this right -

pot size preflop - 400, flop - 1200, turn - 2400 after your bet, 7200 after his raise.

You don't mention his stack, except for that you have him covered - after his raise he's put in 5400 so when you push for 9k more he has to call another ~5400 to see the river. So at that point he's getting almost 3:1 and you're most likely drawing to a 5:1 out, based on what you said about two pair or set. I think your fold equity stinks, but I don't play this high so maybe I'm off base.

If you're confident of your read, I don't like the play. Like another poster said, you'll push him off top pair, but otherwise don't see this working. But I guess that depends on your definition of working - I'm assuming you wanted him to fold

One problem with this push is he can have a pair + diamond draw now and be priced into calling.
