Just stumpled on this forum, i didn't realize we had a HU place.

$600 on bodog. Villain has been very aggressive, either betting pot or folding, so no in-between. His standard opening raise is $18. He could have AA or 43o with his raise.

Effective stacks are $700 each. I'm down about a buyin to him.

Flop Pot $36ish

Villain pushes for about a pot size bet.

Fold preflop or the turn or give a us read as to why you called the turn as folding there is very standard.

Preflop, I'm not folding A6 to a raiser like this. Sometimes I 3bet it, but didn't this time. admittedly, I should've folded turn but i felt I was ahead of his range and had protection if an Ace spiked.

folding preflop is really bad. I dont see anyway how you can lay this down after calling that turn.

If you think folding preflop is really bad you thinking about preflop incorrectly, its marginal either way, 3-betting I think one of the worst options though.

Folding A-rag OOP is pretty damn standard in HU cash.

As played, fold turn.

The river presents a logical problem. You continued in the hand with 2nd pair on the flop (which is fine), which became third pair on the turn because you put your opponent on a worse hand. Given that logic, we can say Air or Draw... with 10-20% air, 80-90% he has 45 or spades (a majority of the range is spades just given my combinatorics). Given that, on the river he has you beat a huge portion of the time.

When calling down lightly it's important to gauge your outs. Do you see how this hand is completely different if you have As 6x?

EDIT: With a read that my opponent is not maniacal, I'm generally not going to continue with a flopped 2nd pair that turns into 3rd pair on the turn.

after calling on the turn how can you possibly consider folding river?

Exactly. I guess I didn't make it clear. That's what I meant by failed logic. You've now forced yourself into a situation where you have to call knowing you're beat an insane percentage of the time. Lest you take another step away from your original logic.
