Headsup hand from 25000Euro guaranteed on B2B

[Lafortezza]

I luckboxed my way to headsup in the 25k Euro GTD on the B2B Network a few days ago.
I haven't played many MTTs in the past few months, so my game is rusty if it exists at all.
1st pays 5400Euro, 2nd pays 3600Euro.

Me: 620k
Villain: 750k
Villain is a pretty good player he has been very aggressive shorthanded at the final table, but he frequently folded to all-ins and resteals. The B2B site is full of scandies, and from what I can make of the railbird chat Villain is widely respected.

My image would be TAG, although once I was caught with my hand in cookie jar. 5 handed, UTG minraises, I push with As4s and UTG calls with 99, I hit my Ace to knock him out. Other than this I've always shown the goods.


Headsup has only been going for maybe 10 hands, mostly blind swopping.

Blinds 8k/15k, I raise to 35k from the button with Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]T [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
Villain min-raises to 70k, I call.

Flop (140k): K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]3 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
Villain checks I bet 100k, Villain calls.

Turn (340k): 2 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
Villain bets 80k, I raise to 200k with 250k behind.

Villain pushes. I felt like tossing a coin to decide if I should call or fold.

I may be weak-tight, but when villain donkbets the turn, I call and try to get a cheap showdown.

As played, I have to call. 250k to win 870k? Gotta.

This definetely seems to be one of those WA/WB situations when one of you is drawing dead. His donk bet on the turn either means he wants to find out if you have a heart cheaply and he is trying to get more money in the pot without scaring off a weaker heart.

Either way, this is a time for pot control time as you want to get to showdown (this covers many of the concepts being covered in MLGs going deeper post, marginal hand, pot control, get to showdown), and therefore I call behind on the turn.

Just call the turn, fold to the allin for sure.
