5/10 HU with top pair
 

I played about 50 hands against this villain. Didn`t know what to think about him yet but he seemed ok.
This is probably the 6th time he open-completed his SB. He always potted the flop when checked to in this situation and it`s the 4th time I c/raised him. He always folded. This is the 2nd time in a row I c/raised the flop to 60 after he completed.

5/10 1k effective stacks

Villain completes OTB/SB.

I check my BB w/ Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Flop comes 2 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

I check. Villain bets 20. I raise to 60. Villain raises to 200. I?

You have Q5o dude. Find a better spot.

I've been doing this a bit more lately too (c/r flop with a weak tp type hand and sometimes second pair hands after a pf limp when we are in bb). I'm not sure if it's good or not to be honest. I think I prefer the flop c/r on a less drawy board though cuz when he calls, we are really screwed on the turn oop and we might as well do this with total air.

Don`t really get your reply tbh. We have TP with a decent kicker HU. You prefer to c/c the flop? Lead?
Now that villain 3-bet what range are we giving him and what is our best response?

Re: 5/10 HU with top pair
 

I much prefer a lead I think c/r sets up his range so you are behind much more often when he continues. Just lead he will call with a million worse hands HU.

Have you been c/ring him a lot, do you think he is going in with a worse hand on average then Q5 on this flop? I can see players I would make this play against but it would not be often.

Re: 5/10 HU with top pair
 

Yea. As stated in my op I c/red him a decent amount in asimilar spot. I can`t say for sure he was ready to play back at me with air but it was certainly more than possible.

flop raise is ugly, just fold

Didn't notice it was HU. Scrap everything I said.

Re: 5/10 HU with top pair
 

If he hasnt done anything the first 4 times i fold.

Re: 5/10 HU with top pair
 

I really dislike the flopcheckraise. What is your plan on the hand if he calls your checkraise? Betting the turn? Check/folding? check/calling? I think all options are about equal so you don´t have +EV decisions.

=> Bet/call Flop.
