excellent point FF. I thought that I would see AK/AQ frequently enough to call. Moreover, because of the various missed draws on board, I didn't think raising would be good (since he could put me on a missed draw and call kind of light).

fwiw, I bet the turn which lets the river decision be easier. In a bubble, I think it is a fold here. Although I agree that in a HU match a lot about this decision has to do with the flow of the play, which is hard to comment on just based on this post.

I don't like betting the turn, because there are way too many hands - some of which I beat that can check-raise the turn in an aggressive hu match.

for anyone who can just say they call, they are wrong. this is 100% opponent and moreso match specific.

a raise is a good play every once in awhile, but unless you have a pretty standard image (which my guess is you dont) you wont get him to fold reasonable hands and if you are raising then you are telling yourself you think he has a reasonable hand (because if he didnt you would just call).

i cant tell you any more about this situation without having seen the whole match.

Very good points Taylor. That is why I hesitated even to post the hand. Not a lot of constructive discussion can be had over this hand since the play is so dependent on the flow. I guess I just thought it was interesting that we had the same hand in this weird spot.

i'd fold.

this sounds like an ideal opponent to me.......
Opponent re-raises from small blind. He has been reraising a fair amount - probably all pairs, all aces, any two broadway cards, occasionally suited connectors, and the occasional junk reraise.

why is this the ideal opponent?? I thought he was quite good actually.

Could someone explain to the bad players why his hand is face up. And in observable logic. Thanks

[/ QUOTE ]

I can't tell if this is serious. His hand is far from face up - pretty tough to decipher really.
