50/100nl HU vs. Erik123

[Taylor Caby]

Erik is a strong player, although he has told me he is relatively new (i'm guessing compared to how much limit experience he has - definitely not a novice though) at big NL cash games. We have been playing heads up for about an hour, I made one suckout in a big pot (2p vs straight) and since then i feel he has been playing a bit more loose and aggressive.

A hand very similar to this came up about 40 hands earlier - I called on the flop without much of a hand, i bet on the turn and he moved all in after thinking for about 10 seconds, then i folded.

Here is the HH - please let me know what you think!

EDIT: I should note, I am raising about 65-70% of hands PF and he is reraising from the BB maybe 10-15% of the time.
Thanks,
TC

The strength of your hand is very well disguised. I would bet the pot here, if you check behind a lot of cards hurt you/kill your action.

I don't mind a check behind here. There are a bunch of draws out there but what worse hand do you think will keep calling if you make a decent size bet here?

it's definitely a bet. that board is drawy enough and in your range enough for me to think AA-QQ would feel the need to bet there. it looks a lot more like tens full or nothing than it does a big pair - or even a seven.

whether you call a push or not is too dependedent on everything that has occurred during the session for us to know - but i would certainly lean towards calling.

Bet pot.

[stoxtrader]

as deep as you are I would check behind.

Less deep and I would not mind playing for stacks.

the fact that you can put his hand in op 10-15% and that includes a lot of pairs that crush you makes me like a check even more.

This is exactly what I'm thinking, I think given your description of the current pace of game I would bet here and call a check raise, I think you are ahead a pretty large percentage of time here and betting does not discourage a bluff from him.

good post.

[durrrr]

Do you have any idea what he thinks of you?
about how often has he been reraising preflop (% of the time or w/e)?
Have u called any flops where he r/rd pre, and c/fd turn?

Interesting to see respected posters disagreeing on this one.

I think it's a bet, you have FE and you're ahead of plenty of the hands that he check/pushes.
