I would never raise this hand if it wasn't HU, I would most likely throw it away to the PF raise.
I bet the flop because it's not huge danger, and I'm OOP and don't want to give him the upper hand. A set or two pair is what most worries me, and a set would reraise. Anything else will probably fold. With any callers I can let the hand go with a scare card on the turn.
HU with two deepish stacks and not too much pf action generaly makes the most important decision the turn, not the flop, IMHO.
The turn is pretty simple for me, I think.
A busted draw will fold (though maybe a weaker flush might call if he's stupid). I don't have him on the set with no flop raise, and my outs are close to even against two pair. So a push is on.
He turned over two pair. Said 'nice river' kinda snidely, and I took the pot.
I ran the odds after. I was about 44% to win on the turn. Given the fold equity I think it's an ok play, if marginal.Statistics: Posted by lamaros — Mon Nov 28, 2005 6:31 am
