Re: Heads up 5/10 - Am I playing to tight
Thanks for the information. I play a lot of heads up and short handed. Not sure I'm great at it, know I'm good to ok.
A couple of other facts about this hand. I'm running like crap against this guy. He's killing me today and has all the momentum on his side. It's bottom pair. Top pair I come for sure. Middle pair depends on my mood. I don't think I can get him to lay it down. No matter what comes. Obviously the ace is my dream card. This hand stood out to me as I reviewed the session I was suprised I didn't call the bet or raise for the free card. When I think about it. It's bottom pair. With a third nut low draw! It's still vexing me. |

I believe this is a raise preflop, and at minimum a call on the flop also.... would re-evaluate on turn.

Thanks for the response Dave, I put you in the top 3 people that I admire on this forum.
Not sure if I agree with all of your analysis. I hate raising preflop from the SB and being out of position. I think it's borderline suicide to raise OOP when hands are rarely more than a 60/40 favorite. I only raise with hands like AA, A2, A3 with backup, and one of the aces better be suited. I do think I wussed out by not calling on the flop or even betting out. I'm sure I have more hands in my database that I played that way then this way. |

While not exactly a premium hand, it has a lot more going for it than a random 4-card combination, thus you should be charging your opponent to play.

Re: Heads up 5/10 - Am I playing to tight
i don't know if you're playing too tight or not, but i'm pretty sure you're playing way too passive HU...
...you propably shouldn't ever play as loose or aggressive as i do, but my base line for raising from sb is more or less like A + something, pair + low, dbl-suited lowish connectish, suited wrapish lowish (depending on opps it's more hands or less), but you can safely raise when ever you have an A +wheel card + card higher than 10, pair + 2 wheel cards and dbl-suited with 4 cards between 2-7... ...if you want to be more than 60/40 fav in o8, then you can only raise with AA... ...with 2379s i don't really even mind just limping, but if i don't particularily respect my opp it's ok to raise and no you can't ck-fold that flop or you will get pushed around and you wont get payed with your better hands... ...2379 is only ahead of middle random crap and high only hands (and you don't want them to call either) so for the raise to be correct you need to expect to get paid or be able to push your opp of the pot at some point |

Re: Heads up 5/10 - Am I playing to tight
Don't play these stakes heads-up without an impressive rake plan. If you do play, figure out ways to make your opponents squirm (on all streets) without putting yourself in too many bad equity situations.
If you play this way you will never, ever win. Against anyone. Inevitably you'll make an absurd # of mistakes, whereas your opponents won't make many at all. |
