Would you slow down at any point?

Only 7 hands with villain. My table image is tight passive so far.

At what point do I need to seriously consider him having a better hand?

I'd call down from his turn raise, barring no read.

Thats what I was thinking at the time, but putting him on AA or KT seemed like MUBS.

Heads up is much different to a multiway pot. On a multiway pot, I'd say don't stop, because you don't have to be right nearly as high a percentage of the time.

Heads up, barring a maniacal read, you have to slow down on the turn. Good thing is, slowing down and seeing a crappy hand will give you a nice read.

I wouldn't put him on KT with the preflop 3-bet, when he raises the turn though he could still possibly have AQ. I think I play the same up until the river where I check/call.

NAU_Player · #6 04-15-2005, 07:01 PM

So, given his PF 3-bet, would you agree that his range of hands is: AA-KK, AK, AQ?

I think we can eliminate KK based on the flop play. So our equity vs the other hands is 80% (AA, AK, AQ) or 47% (AA, AQ)

Given the fact that this is heads-up, and you dont have a read on your opponent, what is your reasoning for 3-betting the turn?

Checkraise the turn. If 3-bet, call down.

fwiw, villain shows A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] and MHIG

I still dont like how I played it.

Not until he caps the turn. I check/call the river. With the preflop action like it was, I think you got unlucky and ran into someone with either a set of aces or the straight. I don't think the turn cap can mean much else.
