Default common HU situation.

Against a good player. He will play this flop like most of us...check-raising any pair, gutshot, flush draw or str8 draw for the most part. Sometimes even A-high.

HU. Im in the sb/button w/ 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
I raise, he calls.

Flop: Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
I bet, he check-raises.

Whats the plan (turn/river)?

I think check/call check/call on both streets is fine.

Default Re: common HU situation.

yeah thats usually my default often. I was just looking to see if anyone either raised turn occasionally or maybe even folded to a river bet. Guess it just depends, I know I raise the turn sometimes but thats kind of situational. Just curious.

NOTE: the way I typed my OP made it look like I was OOP

It sounds like he would make this move with more draws than pairs, so why wouldn't you raise the turn and take a free showdown?

EDIT:

If he's a good player, I might not want to take this line. Hmm, He might fold some very weak pairs and weak draws. And on the other hand, he might not bet all 3 streets for us. I'm not sure about this, I'll think about it some more.

I would rather 3-bet and fold somewhere later on or raise the turn than just check/call down.
