Blind defense . . . a 1/2 hand
SB is relatively tight (15) and quite passive (1.3). He hasn't gone after any blinds from the button, CO, or Hi-jack in the handful of orbits that I've played with him.

Re: Blind defense . . . a 1/2 hand
Hero checks through and sees how his hand develops. When SB capped your preflop 3-bet, you can be pretty certain that he's ahead of you (at the least he has an ace or possibly KQs), and that he's not going to fold for 1 bet on a 55T flop.
See if you can catch a Q or J on the turn (or even an OESD), and then figure out your course of action from there. |

Hero should fold, I am pretty sure we are beat here and given your reads I am gonna lay it down.

Re: Blind defense . . . a 1/2 hand
I bet the flop.
If raised on the flop, I either fold or call and fold the turn UI. If called I re-evaluate on the turn. You have position. Youve shown aggression preflop, so he can't rule out you having a legitimate hand. If he has AK, AQ, AJ you can potentially move him off it. A lot of other hands he is either going to be passive enough to call and check the turn or tricky enough to call and try check-raising the turn allowing you to take a free card. This pot is a decent size for heads-up short handed. You only need SB to fold 1 in 8 times for it to be correct. I risk the bet, sometimes you need to give a passive player a chance to fold.

Re: Blind defense . . . a 1/2 hand
Take the free card, I think you need it, then fold the turn if you dont improve and he bets, if he checks, then take another freebie.
Typically people are either trapping or trying to get to showdown when they check here after putting in the last raise preflop. |
