25/50 NL FullTilt

Villian ($4800)
Hero ($2075)

Reads: Villian is very aggessive, but not stupid. He slows down sometimes when he feels like I'm slowplaying. Cards haven't been favoring either of us, both of us are getting some big hands.

Hero is dealt: A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] in BB

Thoughts/comments on each street appreciated.

Re: 25/50 NL headsup
 

I would've cred all in on turn.

Re: 25/50 NL headsup
 

I think that would've given away the strength of my hand. Villian definetely has a king here given his huge continuation bet on the turn. I want him to make a big mistake and call me down.

Re: 25/50 NL headsup
 

You don't think he'd call anyway?

It's only a pot-sized raise.

So you are hoping he reads the river push as a bluff?

Fold preflop.

Re: 25/50 NL headsup
 

Yeti, I normally fold A2o preflop but in this particular scenario, Villian has raised preflop about six straight hands and I decided to make a stand.

Re: 25/50 NL headsup
 

Ok.

I probably do move in on the turn if you're now convinced he has a K but your way is fine too.

Re: 25/50 NL headsup
 

If I check/raise all-in on turn, would Villian call me with a hand between K7-KT? KJ-AK? I think it would be too obvious that I had TP beat if I check/raised all-in.

Re: 25/50 NL headsup
 

I imagine he'd definitely call with KJ and above, but you're the one playing with him.

After some more thought, your way is best. If you're going to wait until the river this is almost the perfect board to do it on. Nice one.

Flop call is a bit dodgy, though, no?
