(55) Heads Up, I make a play...

My read is that he is a forward thinking agressive player with some respect for me. When the 2 kings hit the flop I decide that will represent them by checking behind. On the turn I know he may raise my bet trying to represent the kings himself. Sure enough he raises and instead of pushing right here decide to represent a full house by smoothcalling with position on the river I may be able to get more chips from him and after my smoothcall on the turn I feel he can;t shove the river unless it is a value shove. So I follow through with my plan and am very proud as this is a big step forward in my game.

You do realize you're going to be HU with over 10BB at the $55s probably 1 in 25-30 tournaments right? This is not a big step in your game.

Ok. Thanks.

It's kinda dumb posting heads up hands where you're making a play based on a read. You're saying that you had a solid read and obviously acted accordingly. How can anyone dispute that? Glad to hear you're doing well though.
