Re: Couple HU hands and a couple HU PF decisions.
Well I don't really agree with your assesment that I'm not WA/WB. You merely said it was way off and then pointed out that I would take the same line with a different hand. That doesn't change the...

Re: Couple HU hands and a couple HU PF decisions.
So does everyone think I can make more of a long term profit in Hand 1 by betting the flop or would it be for metagame considerations? While I agree that the whole WA/WB idea is overused and not...

Couple HU hands and a couple HU PF decisions.
I've been working on my HU game lately. I'm having fun but feel a little lost. It's hard to develop good reads when you only play about 30-50 hands against an opponent so I only note their general...

Re: JJ vs fish
How terrible is a call-down after the turn raise. Sometimes I feel like when an unknown raises a turn like this it could be because the second king made them feel like you're less likely to hold a...

Re: 3-6 heads up. Who bets on the turn here?
I agree with you about not folding to the turn raise. However, say that the same unknown raises us on the turn and we call. What hands do we check/call and what hands do we check/fold? The only...

Calling down check-raises
I've been looking at some of my hands where I get check raised after a continuation bet and call down. Although I usually only do this against aggressive players, it doesn't seem to be working well....

3/6 absolute, couple hands against a LAG
Here are a couple hands I just played that left me very confused. Both hands were played 6-handed.
Villain's stats are 63/28/1 through 68 hands. He seems to call with almost anything and will...

Re: T9o River
I really want to say call since the pot is big. I also think that I would almost always call here while playing. That being said, I think folding might be the right move. What could he possibly...

Re: Line Check; KJo
I like the flop raise. But I think after the UTG wakes up on the turn you should probably just call. Calling is better than raising since you dont want to force out the other players who are almost...

AJo HU on ABS 2/4
Lately I've been trying to improve my heads-up skills. I was wondering if the hand here is appropriate to call down after the c/r. If it isn't appropriate against this player, what kind of player...

Re: A2s hits against PFR
Folding PF would be bad, especially since the SB called. Post-flop I think you should just check-call (maybe c/f the river). He probably has you beat, but I don't think 95 hands is enough to give...

Re: 2 intresting hands for the day
In Hand 1, couldn't we bet/fold the turn. I think a free river is bad since you want fewer players to maximize your chances of winning. Also, I think you'll get to showdown more that way. I'm...

2/4 Abs: A3s blind defense w/ bottom pair
Villain is loose preflop and could be stealing with a wide range. Postflop he's not great, but I've seen him lay down hands.
Did I take the right line here or should I just give up? I was going...

5/10: Weird KJo on the Button
No solid reads but the two limpers are loose PF and the villain in the BB is laggy.
I'm not sure about PF. Raising seems weird, since it's not really an iso-raise, but I can't imagine calling...

1/2 Party 6m: AQo in the SB
The BB seems somewhat Tight-aggressive pre-flop although I dont have any reads on his post-flop play.
The CO is a LAG. Plays goofy pre and post-flop. He would probably bet the turn 90% ofthe time...

Re: 2/4 Absolute, QJo in the SB
There were several reasons why I didn't 3-bet the flop.
I think that the BB is very unlikely to take a free card on the turn. I figured he would almost always bet the turn after raising the...

Re: AK oop vs TAG; turn plan?
I like bet/fold.
We need to look at the range that the Villain limps here. He probably has a weak suited connector or a small pp. I think he's unlikely to bluff-raise a turn with nothing. So...

Re: 2/4 Absolute, couple hands against a LAG
