Heads-up $5/10 stud hand

[Andy B]

My opponent is a decent regular on Stars. He's been playing fairly tight, but rather aggressively. He is somewhat tilt-prone, but hasn't tilted yet. Frankly, I don't know what I was doing playing against him:

Trying to put him on tilt? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

That was what I had in mind. Really, though, there are better spots for making money.

Looks like an uncomfortable spot to be in up until the river. I don't see any problem with the way you played it though.

Keep in mind I don't really play many games with less than 4 people or so.

I think the real question is how did he play after you laid this hand on him. Seems like a good place to make some money off a tilter.

I would fold 5th, myself. If he has a 5 or an A you're drawing awfully thin.Good hand.

Me either.

[Andy B]

About the same. He took me for about $150, I think.

[Andy B]

I fold fifth most of the time myself. It's not often that I'll call when I'm beaten on board and don't have a four-card draw.
