Re: Heads up play
Looks like a bit of a converter error, I'm assuming from your tone that you raised the flop. That's my line as well I think. He may be semi-bluffing with two hearts or have a PP or lower J. I really doubt he is folding right here, so I like the raise. Also, you really don't want to be 3-bet on the turn, so if it's 3-bet back to you on the flop, you can slow down.

Re: Heads up play
I like it, too bad he foiled your turn raise plan. Rest is easy of course.

Re: Heads up play
Not me. I actually like raising the flop.
1. If by some chance he has a heart I want to charge some more now. 2. If he has a J he isnt goping anywhere. 3. Recently I have found that my opponents interpret my flop raise as an unimproved AK or a free card play and will lead on the turn, allowing me to raise them again I had a hand like this, I believe I had QT flop came Q5T he bet i raised, turn came a brick, he bet i raised, river came a brick he bet i raised he called MHIG. |

True but replying to them does nothing either. Commenting on the strategy they recomend might prove to be more insightfull.

Re: Heads up play
By the way, the real reason I play it this way is the A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. If I raise, overcards are going to call for one more, so by calling I'm waiting for the turn card to see how I play.
Charging the hearts? Why? So they don't get the odds to play on? Implied odds will more than make up for that. Suppose he does have a flush, if he hits it on the turn I've still got 13 outs to beat him, thats even if he has a flush. And if he has a J, chances are he'll slow down on the turn if I pop him on the flop. By waiting for a good turn card, I can reasses and trap him for more bets than a turn raise could. In other words, a flop call gives me more options, steals more bets off him, and allows me to get away from my hand cheaper. |
