88 heads-up
BB is basically unknown, but lets say over a small sample he's semi-competent. He's probably a little too loose and average or slightly above average aggression wise.
5 handed Folded to you on the Button, where you raise 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], SB folds, BB 3-bets, you call. Heads up to the flop, 6 small bets Flop: T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] BB bets, you call Heads up to the turn, 4 big bets Turn: 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] BB bets... Do you play pre-flop or the flop differently? What's the plan from the turn on?

Re: 88 heads-up
I think I remember CDC saying it's good to cap preflop with 88 every once in a while for metagame/inducing mistakes on ace-high flops, but I don't think that's really applicable at this level. So I almost always call the raise pf.
I'd raise the flop basically all the time.

I can see some people who would cap preflop. As for me, against most I would call, but would definitely raise that flop. [/ QUOTE ] Raising the flop is definetely a solid option. How does a flop raise compare to a turn raise as far as the way the hand is likely to play out when considering the BB's range of hands? (You know what I mean?)

[/ QUOTE ] I'm not really sure what you mean? I'm raising the flop for value and protection with a likely good but vulnerable hand. Are you thinking you're more likely to fold a better hand with a turn raise?

I seem to have a habit, especially when I'm heads-up, of not raising the flop very much. I'm sure it's correct to wait sometimes, but I'm afraid I'm probably over-doing it.

Re: 88 heads-up
I raise the flop here most of the time, but on occasion I just call the flop and raise the turn, then check behind on the river UI.

[/ QUOTE ] This was what I did, but this hand kinda got me thinking. I raised the turn and he called. The river was the K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] and I checked behind. Another thing I was wondering, (other than the flop play), was that with the way the action went through the turn, what river cards, if any, should I be betting?

Do we think villain calls with A high or an under pair? Most of the time I just check the river and am happy to either take the pot or not have lost more bets to an over pair.
