$20+2 NHLE HU Tourney: 4th Street Logic
VILLAIN is playing great heads-up poker. Sticking in check-raises, not too loosely nor tightly, mixing up betting lines and keeping me off balance but not crazily. Could very well be a 2+2'er.
HERO has been on the opposite side of the momentum swing. I've been playing normal aggressive HU but probably closer to the tight tank than loose land. Check-raising only once or twice the last 40 hands or so. $20+$2 Hold'em No Limit - Match Round II, Level I (10/20) - 2007/10/24 - 15:05:21 (ET) Seat #1 is the button Seat 1: VILLAIN (1845 in chips) Seat 2: HERO (1155 in chips) VILLAIN posts small blind 10 HERO posts big blind 20 *** HOLE CARDS *** Dealt to HERO [6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]] VILLAIN: calls 10 HERO: checks 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] HERO: bets 20 VILLAIN: calls 20 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] HERO: checks VILLAIN: bets 20 HERO: raises 100 to 120 VILLAIN: raises 160 to 280 HERO: ??? 500 in the pot, 160 to call Current stacks~ Villain: 1525 Hero: 955 Choices: A) Shove. I am at LEAST calling here, which at least reduces my stack to 800ish, meanwhile 660 in the pot. A raise offers villain roughly 800:1450 odds, or 5:9, blocking any of the draws or counter-fitting (assuming he has a pair) and simultaneously killing implied odds on river obv. B) Call. Look for a red brick on river and check/call. A king with a good kicker will no doubt bet with a river 10[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] not to mention the busted-draw-bluff equity. C) Fold. My check-raises have been minimal and thus demanding respect, plus folding now would leave me intact with a grand and blinds still newborn at 10-20. Advice? Any commentary on the best line would be greatly appreciated. |
