5/10 HU live

[Parlay Slow]

Opponent is famous Atlanta live player Dave Woo. We decided to play some friendly 5/10 heads up. We each bought in for $2k, but we definitely aren't getting drunk and donking around. The mood is very serious. Here's a run down of Dave's game:

Pros:
--Outstanding physical live reader
--Fearless in every respect
--Creative

Cons:
--Prone to tilt which causes him to bluff too much and won't fold pairs
--Weak in some technical fundamentals
--Probably a bit to loose in general

He has $1800, and I cover. I've mostly been getting the better of him by showing down the goods when value betting or calling his bluffs. He views me as overly solid/tight.

I raise button to $35 w/ J7o and get instacalled.

Flop 2d2s5h ($70 pot)
I bet $50, he check raises me to $125 which means he has two cards. I re-raise to $375. He goes through some acting about wanting to fold, then wanting to call, then wanting to fold and finally calls.

Turn Td (Pot $820)
He leads for $300 pretty quick. I pause and call.

River Qh (Pot $1420)
He mulls and decides to bet $200, leaving himself with $875. I muck.

Why are you fighting for this pot so badly? I understand the flop play but when he leads the turn there's really only two plays IMO, raise or fold. I'm heavily weighed towards fold.

That said, I think you have to call this river if you are going to flat call the turn. Should he have 3-4, 3-6 you'll scream "J high, ship it!" and if not, you'll see his hand for 200 bux.

are u angry or not when this hand is being played

I just fold the turn, he's giving up the river rarely, and more likely to 3 barrel with a lot of stuff that you'd be value from calling and pushing the river.

fold the flop. sorry, but that's the best move.

learn to fold?

[Morrek]

ya... i know its headup but man, you can fold J high sometimes.

Once he check-raises the flop, you have to decide whether to play it like you have a hand or not. If not, fold, else raise turn or push river. It seems you take a middle ground and play into his strengths.

if i "had it" i would usually be calling the turn

I'm aware that I should typically fold it sometimes, but a play like this can't really be incorrect always right?

Hands are hard to make in hold 'em. If I could whether my HU opponent was capable of this or not, I'd choose not.
