$2200 HU turbo SNG full tilt
this is the 2nd hand of the heads up. opponent has very good sharkscope stats but I and a few others who have played him agree he is actually a pretty weak opponent...anyways
the first hand i just mucked to his raise, the 2nd hand i have 88 and i have the button...blinds are 15-30 i call, he makes it 90, and i choose to call. the flop is 8 9 Q all of spades - sry not converter right now. he bets 120 and i decide to call and get it in on a blank turn increasing my equity vs. a powerful draw and also to make it look like i could be making a move with a draw, if a scare card peels off i can control the pot and also look to boat up on the river before i invest many more chips......anyways, the turn is a 4 of hearts, the perfect brick for my hand, he bets 240 and i shove....... how's my line? |

Re: $2200 HU turbo SNG full tilt
A lot of scare cards can hit, making him bluff you OOP. You are creating tough situations by not trying to get in on the flop. Also, you run the risk of him checking behind on the turn. Anyway, there is too much downswing to that play for it being profitable, I think. I don't play that big stakes, so my reasoning might be too simplistic.
But I get your point of trying to disguise your hand, but I would prefer to do it in position. |

Re: $2200 HU turbo SNG full tilt
wait a second, i had the button, cuz he was first to bet after the flop.....my fault
i raise 88 on the button probably 95% of the time but he likes to shove with many different hands and the 2nd hand of the HU id rather see a cheaper flop and the best scenario would be to hit a set of course, so by calling preflop i can mix up my play |

Oh, sorry - I didn't see you limp called preflop.

Yeah, then I guess I like it at this level where you have to mix up your play.
Nice play. |

Waiting til the turn to raise doesn't look like a draw to me, it looks more like a monster, the opposite of the image you want to project. I reraise pf and raise the flop.

Re: $2200 HU turbo SNG full tilt
preflop can go either way, i chose to call, especially against this opponent who is going to be pushing a wider range of hands than normal, i dont mind seeing a flop in position with 88
also, what exact monster does it look like? u think most sets are giving a free card on this board, i think of set of 8's is that last type of hand that he would put me on, as giving a cheap card with that board is pretty dangerous, something i chose to do to disguise my hand the only monster on this board is a flopped flush, i think raising the flop will get him off many hands that will pay me off on later streets |

[/ QUOTE ] So what do you do if a spade or a jack or a ten comes on the turn? As you said here, it looks like you intend to call a potsized bet and turn your hand into a draw. You would risk a lot of your stack on a draw here. I would call if you are prepared to fold to a big bet on the turn. Unless you have a read that he won't make a big bet on the turn so that you can check behind here. Your line is weird so you can expect some negative responses. |
