10-20 shorthanded on stars

[JBombs]

Table is playing pretty loose, I am playing pretty aggressive, and VaeSolis has raised me to 420 on the flop 2/5 hands that we have been HU. How do you play this hand?

wow...glad to see you are finally posting on here. i would probably check-raise the turn.

that deep i'm 3 betting the flop.

hey man, i think you played it perfect. 3betting flop makes it difficult to play a board-pairing turn or a 4th spade, and c/r'ing that specific turn is just a donkey play (consider who's advocating it). your line won you the most if you were ahead or he was bluffing, and lost you the least if you were behind; well played.

btw, i'll be back from vegas next week, hold on to some of that money.

i like your line on the flop, with the plan to check/raise a blank turn.

since the turn wasn't a blank, i like getting to showdown inexpensively (so no check/raise), and since opponent is aggressive i like your checks rather than value bets.

in sum, looks good.
