Default Re: Unusual Hand vs. Allen Cunningham

You basically have to play this like you were headsup (because you are, LOL). Decide how you'd play against him if you were the last two left at the final table.

In this particular situation, I'd basically call a small raise (3xBB or less) without even looking at my cards, watching him the whole time. Then I'd check the flop blind and see what he does. I think you make it a LITTLE more difficult on him not giving him any reads. If he just calls, I'd raise him, no matter what two cards I was holding. If he makes a big enough raise (over the standard 3x, or whatever has been the standard raise at the table), I'm either folding or pushing, since I'm out of position and outchipped by a lot. So, it's AA-QQ and AKs I'm pushing with. I'm folding everything else and saying "I'm hungry, so I'll let you have it this time (with a big smile on my face)."
