66 heads-up on pretty innocent flop.

[callmedonnie]

In these types of boards in HU pots I have been using the c/r flop lead turn line. It has proved pretty effective lately. However here it looks like Villain is good enough to know you have a small pocket pair. And he doesn't seem at all scared that you might have a set, which on this board can scare some. I have seen players w/ similar stats c/c w/ AK on a board of K52 because of this. Granted, not everyone scares so easy but I think you have to release this one.

I like a flop check/raise instead.

You're not against JJ often enough to fold the turn the way it played out though and consider also that you may win 3 more bets on the river if you're against AJ or AA.

I don't get it. Assuming you hit your two outer?

With only a 5% pfr, his range of hands might be narrow enough that a flop fold is in order. [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

With a bit of a wider range, I think you can entertain the check/call, check/call, bet line.

I agree with the others who say you can't fold the turn the way it played out.

edit: check fold an Ace or K turn or river.

I think your line makes it clear you're beat and clear that you shouldn't fold the turn.

shouldn't fold the turn? ahem...? Sorry but I do not understand....

Look at the pot. Then look at your hand. Then look at the pot again, then look at the board. Therein lies the answer somewhere.

Yikers. Don't we wanna make him at least sweat a little bit before he catches his A or K (or other pair)? We aren't wa/wb here, he's got 6 full outs if we're behind.

Yeah, but the pot is small for one...so it is not criminal for 1 bet to go in on each street with no "attempt to get him to lay it down.

Aside from check raising the turn, (or maybe donk betting the turn) , it is unlikely that AK is not going to the river anyway.

If we check raise the flop, it is very likely that if the villain hold an overpair, he call the c/r and pop us on the turn. And, many aggressive players (perhaps his numbers don't bear this out, but it is hard to say) will 3-bet the flop with overs. So we can make some bad folds, even after putting in 1 BB in a smallish pot.

The more weaker and more straightforward my opponent, the more I like a flop c/r. The better and more solid my opponent, the more I like a check/call, check/call, bet line.

My bad. Those make it much closer. Implied odds make up for pot odds that are slightly short. I think a call is probably best.

Bad fold on the turn. Need to call here -- 6 outs with enough pot odds -- and better implied odds -- I don't think you are getting much more than one bet on the river -- but you might.
