Discussion I'm having with my friends about a HU SNG(input needed)

[Talibankweli]

Ok, we're playing HU.

Blinds are 15/30

Friend raises to 78
I raise to 250 with AK

flop is 4/a/4

needless to say we get it all in and he turns over 8-4 off and justifies his call by saying that he put me on 9's -Aj pre-flop. Is there any justification for his call?

[Talibankweli]

Also:

I was told I needed to raise more pre-flop because he was getting 2:1 on his money, but why call when you're not a 2:1 fav in the range of hands given that I'm on.

Also.

He wouldn't call a re-raise there with a-8.

[waxhax0rs]

Depends on stack-sizes (like if you're super deep) but almost certainly there is no justification and almost certainly your friend is a moron.

[Talibankweli]

Seat 1: Me (1,372)
Seat 2:Him (1,628)

[pushing22]

seems like your friend is dumb. And giving him 2:1 is fine. You are not scared to see a flop; and AK might easily share one of his cards and he won't evem have 2:1.

Your friend could be right, how deep were the stacks?

[Talibankweli]

Ty, more input would be great.

In his defense he is raising from the button.

First sign that your friend is an idiot would be him raising to 78 preflop.

/End thread.

Sounds like your friend is some maniac degen, calling that 3-bet with 84 is gross. Keep playing him.

[ratone]

you had to be super deep so your friend could make that call profitably.

I probably would fold his hand pf.
