Re: First hand in a HU match
 

i think you are beat. missed nutflushdraw (Ace high) 2 pair A6 etc is likely holdings he will be betting river for value with. you dont know anything about him. save the money for a real hand

Re: First hand in a HU match
 

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

Re: First hand in a HU match
 

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.

There are a million hands he would do this with that you don't beat.

fold. hand range not necessary bc he cannot peel this flop, the board come out like this, and you not be beat...

Re: First hand in a HU match

Re: First hand in a HU match
 

since you know nothing about him, his hand range is huge.

also, if he wins a big pot on the first hand that could change the whole dynamic of the match--so if you're just guessing, that's another reason to fold.
