Default Re: First hand in a HU match

I'm just having a very tough time putting him on a hand, it would literally have to be 87, which i think very rarely calls OOP preflop and plays the flop/turn this way, or an AdXd hand that plays the hand this way (no raising as semi-bluff), and quickly value bets the river.

Can anyone name a hand(s) he has that beat us? I may be giving him too much credit for being a decent HU player who knows that there are all small cards out there and that 15 outters are good, but CMON!

edit: T9 is about the only hand I can come up with.

The EV of future hands shouldn't affect the EV of calling/folding in this one. Right?

It definitely can, but I don't think this is one of those spots as its a fairly substantial pot, and I would like to win it for that reason... which I cannot do by folding.

It looks like a kind of strange line, fits 66, 33, 87, T9. This looks like a legit hand, even if it were a busted flush draw what diamond cards are left that wouldn't hit this board. He could be bluffing KT or something sometimes sure, but eh. I'd fold it 1st hand

With no reads I'd fold quickly.

Yeah I would fold pretty quickly, if only for the reason that very few people seem capable of carrying out multi-street bluffs on the first hand of a HU match.
