An interesting heads up hand in the $55\'s
I have limped in Villains blind twice in a row and both times he has pushed and I have folded.
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t400 (2 handed) converter BB (t4230) Hero (t5770) Preflop: Hero is Button with T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. Hero calls t200, BB checks. Flop: (t800) 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">BB bets t400</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t1000</font>, <font color="#CC3333">BB raises to t3830 (All-In)</font>, Hero calls t2830. Turn: (t8460) Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font> River: (t8460) J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font> Final Pot: t8460 He thought for quit a long time before pushing, and I decided I could not put him on the A or he would have pushed pre flop given his prior history, the only hands I was worreid about where 5j-K or 53, and getting 2-1 I decided to make the call, what are your thoughts? Also here is a random hand that im not sure on but I have a feeling its standard one way or the other. Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (5 handed) converter UTG (t2545) MP (t3880) Button (t1305) SB (t1715) Hero (t555) Preflop: Hero is BB with 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP calls t200, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Hero checks. Flop: (t500) J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t355 (All-In)</font>, MP folds. Final Pot: t855 It worked, but looking at it now im not sure if this is correct. Maybe I should just shove pre flop in this hand? but that too seems wrong since its obvious I have more fold equity checking and pushing the flop, what are your thoughts? |

[/ QUOTE ] Lets re-think this, he pushed your limps the last two times. Why is he going to do this agian when he has an ace, or a high pocket pair in his hand?? Why didnt you push if you thought you had the best hand after the villains bet. You are just giving him odds on a straight or flush draw... I'm guessing he turned over a pp higher than 5's Hand 2 [ QUOTE ] It worked, but looking at it now im not sure if this is correct.

[/ QUOTE ] This would be the stop-n-go, which works very well for that flop. |

I defently think he is pushing Ax into me after I limp in, but might slowplay a higher pocket pair, pushing after his min raise never occured to me, and now that I think about it is probably the correct play, anyone want to confirm this to me?

BTW he had J3 but ended up rivering his J.

Re: An interesting heads up hand in the $55\'s
One note...every time that I push against a limp headsup, my raising standards will get tighter for each successive limp. I will basically raise with any ace here against the first 2 limps, but after that I might just check a lot of the weaker aces, because I know that after one makes this move twice, the opponent then has a much higher % of trapping. |
