Re: Do you call heads up in this situation?
[ QUOTE ]
You have 21 BB. Why on earth are you considering calling here? [/ QUOTE ] Why? Mabey because my equity in the hand is greater than the odds the pot is offering? Why don't you want to consider this possibility? After the limp, I have 3064 behind and there is an additional 300 in the pot, so the pot is offering me 1.1 to 1. Many hands that he might have, such as 55, 44, 33, 22 my equity exceeds that so its a clear cut call. It comes down to what range of hands you can put the opponent on, but I don't see how you can just dismiss a call out of hand without considering this question. Suerte, Jonathan |

You are a 52:48 dog to a random hand, for crying out loud.

[/ QUOTE ] Ummm, try assigning some other likely holdings for villain such as any two over cards or a PP bigger than your cards. Mix it all up and I'm pretty sure 1.1-to-1 odds stink in this spot. |

Re: Do you call heads up in this situation?
It's an easy fold unless you think a coin flip or much much worse for you against this player is actually +EV since he's just going to run you over otherwise.
I think the interesting thing is where you go from here with your pre-flop plays. What villain is doing IMO is trying to make sure you don't limp with marginal hands, so he can easily control you based on your pre-flop actions. You cannot stop limping here with marginal hands then limp with a monster and expect to trap villain. Continue to mix it up by limping and raising with both marginal hands and hands you're willing to go the felt with (as well as raising with junk occassionally, but never limping). |

Re: Do you call heads up in this situation?
Jbrochu has it right. Head's up is a game of cat and mouse. I would look for a spot to drop the hammer on this guy. Sometimes that spot never comes, in which case you eventually are pushing to take blinds or double up. Lot's of ways to win when head's up. Calling and hoping for a coin flip is not one of them that is going to get you consistent positive $EV results.

Re: Do you call heads up in this situation?
seems like an easy fold. there isnt much deadweight in the pot. wait for another hand.

Re: Do you call heads up in this situation?
The fact that you ask this question means that you seriously need to reevaluate your SNG game.
