3/6 HU hand with a bit of history
 

Table breaks and we're heads up, I have almost no hands on the guy. His SN seems pretty bland. We play a few hands without a flop (between 5-10), and he reraises me eventually, I fold. About 3 or 4 hands later this hand happens:

Pre-flop: (2 players) Hero is BB with XX

Flop: A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] ($160, 2 players)
SB checks, <font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $90</font>, SB calls.

Turn: J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] ($340, 2 players)
SB checks, <font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $100</font>, <font color="#cc0000">SB raises to $216</font>, Hero folds.


Then about 5 hands after that, we play this one. I intended on shoving any river except for a 6 or an 8. Like/dislike?

Just keep betting. But I often just give up on these types of flops (sometimtes c/r bluff). Generallly I think its better to just check/shove in these spots instead of a small raise. They won't fold a draw or 9 for that price, and you get a tough river spot. But just make it 90 yourself and they'll fold a lot.

I don't play any online poker so forgive me for the ignorant question, but HU the button is the BB here?

wtf did you bet in hand 1? bad board for the small turn double barrel

Re: 3/6 HU hand with a bit of history
 

Even with a plan of shoving lots of rivers? I had air btw, not sure why I bothered blanking it out.

Oh and Kev only party poker has this [censored] up HU structure.

Re: 3/6 HU hand with a bit of history
 

as stated above, I'd rather 2nd barrel this one.

check/shoving turn is pretty bad imo.

Yes. Party's HU system is retarded.
