Folding top two...
 

I was only about 9 hands into the game and I hadnt see this guy raise postflop or show much aggression. However, 9 hands is a small sample size.

His bet was strong and he did it quickly...

99, 66, 77, AA (possible limp), 810, 85 all beat me
i beat A6, A7, (maybe AK,Q,), AJ, AT

My 1st guess: 66
My 2nd guess: 810

Thoughts?

bump. Some advice would help.

Re: Folding top two...
 

1. Raise preflop.
2. Get the money in here.

1. Use hand history converter
2. Post in microstakes

I'd push after he raises turn.

Re: Folding top two...
 

What is your reasoning for pushing? What range of hands does he make that raise with?

Edit: NM about the limits

My first guess? A weaker 2 pair. The flop call to induce another bet and a turn raise to get in more money. Second guess? A set. Same exact reasoning. I have trouble with T8. Its a gutshot, Of course a lot of idiots have floated me with a gutshot for no apparent reason and they'll get usually get paid some when they get there just because I couldn't put them on a gutshot.

I expect A6, A7, AQ+ a lot here (theres only 1 AA hand out). Maybe a 67. 89 just made a combo-draw. You're ahead of a lot of possible holdings. Sure the sets have you trounced but at least you're still 4 live outs.

With only 9 hands played I might call him tight but I don't think I'd be willing to stake top 2 on it.

I had Qh 8h. (another reason I should stick to MTTs).

Raise preflop, then pot pot pot allin.

Ranges are wider when HU - so stop fearing monsters
