1kNL HU

[shootaa]

I have villain at about 42/36 over the 300 hands before this one comes up, but I wasn't using HUD at the time because it's heads up pokahs right? Anyways, reads are that he's definitely more passive than most 1knl HU players (not CR enough, not barreling off much except when turn turn is an ace and he doesn't have it, things like that, pretty standard plays against an unknown I suppose). Most importantly for this hand and what I think made my decision here is that he was folding to a TON of CRs, even one's where I'm not repping a big range, eg I call oop and flop is A72 and I CR, he would almost always snap fold.

Basically, I want to know if you guys think I miss value here AND MORE IMPORTANTLY if we're playing a good thinking handreader here, if or where I should CR for more value. At the time, along with the read he was being very tight vs my CR, I called since I thought any J or K is a good card to barrel and that hitting a flush is good anyways, along with the fact that KJ could be best ATM. So don't let the results influence your decision because I don't really care about them, I think the decision to CR or not is really on the turn, but I'm open to whatever you guys wanna throw out. Thanks.

I don't play 1k nl hu, but If I'm check/raising a ton which I'm always doing... I would check/raise this without thinking about it.... If I just check/call then I would probably lead/call the turn.

he's been folding to all my CR is the problem. lead calling doesnt really make that much sense because its the weirdest thing ever unless your opponent is just going to spaz raise you, but i think you fold out worst hands and bluffs a ton and thus miss a lot of value

What's wrong with him folding to your flop cr? I doubt you get 3bet too often so even if he just calls with good hands your flush will generally be good if you hit the turn. I think c/c is just setting yourself up to be c/folding a lot of turns, being OOP sucks, etc.

If he might barrel the J turn, then I think a c/c is good because at this point a cr probably has little value. The river I think I prefer leading because your line looks super bluffy and like missed clubs. Additionally, he doesn't seem to be likely to bluff this river given your description of him, I would expect him to shut down. He also probably checks back many worse hands you can get value from.

Is villain a reg? What's his name?

I think you played this situationally perfect, although I generally trebet it pf. as far as the flop is concerned, had you been leading at flops at all? this is a good spot for it. (sets up a float so that you can check shove a blank turn, or sets up a bluffraise on his part so you can shove, or sets him up to call with something that would've called a flop c/r, like 66, and then pot control the turn so you get 2 cards rather than 1 for less money and gives you a chance to vb T or R)

given how it's played i like check call the turn, although c/r for value is slim but ok in certain scenarios - maybe not here (if villain bets a J or a T, they normally go broke, and in the rare event they ever have you beat, which is rare obv! - you have tons of equity)

river play looks good.

I think this is one of the many good lines u can take with Kjcc on preflop/flop. I think once u take this particular line on the flop then turn/river are absolutely standard

[MYNAMEIZGREG]

c/r flop b/c you have been c/r a ton.

i like leading the turn kind

as played i'd sometime CR the turn bc it looks fos, but mostly take the same line you did
