Re: A Heads-Up Hand - Standard?
I would like this more if the other guy didn't have three hearts showing. If he three-bets, what are you going to do? If his three-bet means "flush," I think you may just have a fold. A made flush by him is probably bigger than the one you're drawing to. Are you folding? Are you calling and hoping to get hit between the eyes? If you hit your Jack-high flush, how hard are you going to push it? I realize that maintaining the initiative is important in a heads-up battle, but if you try to seize it every hand, you're going to get yourself into trouble. At least, I always do. I think a call is better in this particular spot.
Of course, heads-up stud isn't my thing either.
