villain is tag, continuation bets alot, shuts down on flop to my CB's certainly not a "Preflop Raiser" unless he/she has the goods. He has also called me twice firing at the river with Air, however never raised.....
Full Tilt Poker 2+.15 HU SNG No Limit Holdem Tournament Blinds: t15/t30 2 players Converter Stack sizes: SB: t1610 Hero: t1390 Pre-flop: (2 players) Hero is BB with 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] SB calls t15 <font color="aaaaaa">(pot was t45)</font>, Hero checks.

My thinking here was he slowplayed a set or had AK/AQ and I just want some comment on how I played this hand. I am new to HU so dont hesitate to comment on all streets, I need the constructive critisism. Thanks. Results: Final pot: t2780 |

Since I would have called a raise with 33 oop , I probably would have raised the BB rather than check it . So most likely , I make it 90 to go pre.
On the turn , I think betting $60 is slightly better than checking , although this is player dependent . On the river you played it well and you should win here almost always . |

[/ QUOTE ] My thinking is(maybe all wrong) I almost never raise preflop(heads up) to hide the strength of my hand. However I like CB flops alot. I feel that by raising PreFlop, you show strength, if you limp often,you disguise hand strength vs. trash. Is this considered to be weak?(maybe) I guess in general: raising against a "good" player only with strong hands, will cause the player to shut down/no action, as opposed to limping with strong hands, could force your opponent to make a major mistake...... Any thoughts on this? |

Any thoughts on this? [/ QUOTE ] You don't necessarily show strength if you raise/re-raise with the right frequency . If you're only raising with few hands then you do in fact give off too much information . Limping may also be a great strategy in exploiting people's postflop game or even how they handle your limps preflop . |

Turn is horrible. Check/raise if you are going to continue since he bet so weak if you think he has will bet/fold a 9. Otherwise fold the other 99% of the time.
And calling for "implied odds" when you have 2 outs is pretty horrendous considering you will never stack him 100% of the time when you do hit and you might not even be ahead when you do somehow miraculously hit your "outs". |

yeah. the turn call was close, not so much because it is too likely we are behind, but more because a near impossible to call river bet looks likely (well obviously not such a problem if you set, but still :P).

[/ QUOTE ] Agree somewhat here, villain only made 1/2 pot size bet, I prolly call here/fold here 50% of the time. Certainly mathematically, I feel it was incorect to call, but I really like my implied odds here.... |
