SOme HU hands 1/2$

[d2themfi]

K heres a few hands I was a little bit undecided on.


This guy is not horrible bot not good. Hes like 77/50 from the btn and 58/0 from the BB. Hes been mixing up 3x raises, min raises and limps, and I havent noticed any pattern in what hands hes doing it with. Seems kind of random/donkish. Pretty early in the match no great reads post. Looking for a turn line

Hero ?




I have trouble in this spot in 6max a lot as well. Obv with out the FD out there it is an easy spot to get it in when he has AAxx. THis guy was 92/3 from the BB and 85/44 from the SB so IM like 99% sure he only has AAxx, altho he has seen me 3bet pretty light and even made a comment in the chat about it I think.

So basically with the FD out there do we still have to get it in vs AAxx that might have a FD as well? FWIW Im pretty confident that almost every 1/2 player is potting the flop with every single combo of AAxx not just the ones with FDs or gutters.

This one was a lil bit later in the match. My image should be pretty bad, so on the turn I was just going for value vs Kx, and also sized my bet smallish so that he might call the turn with dominated draws. Is that fine?

On the river got to shove right? its not too thin? My image is definitely aggro, and I got stacked semi recently so take that into account as well

Literally first hand of the match. IM assuming his range is wider than AAxx mostly because I find that when people 3bet the first hand of a match its usually them trying to "set the tone", especially in PLO.

Basically just looking for the best line. I have decent equity vs everthing except AAxxdd I guess or QQxxdd

hand 1 vs an unknown i'd bet again for protection vs flush draws

hand 2 Id check-fold even if the flop was rainbow, we need a pair + gutshot to get it in 100bb deep. 200bb deep with some read I might do smthing else.

hands 3/4 i like your lines, they are +EV imo, even if with high variance

[Sc000t]

I'd vbet hand 1 smallish. 2/3 pot or so.

I'd check hand 2, you might geta check behind and get him to freeze up...maybe.

Check hand 3. Theres just not much that can call that you beat. If you bet, bet smalllllll. This shove is hoping for a bluff catch and its hard for someone to call here with random Kxxx, even KTxx only beats air here.

Hand 4 is fine. Can't raise fold so ya, NH.

[d2themfi]

so for hand 1 I assume you guys want be to bet/call? Or bet/fold?

Hand 2, scoot, if I check(which I did) and he pots it(which he did) do I fold?

Hand3- Scoot- should I check the turn since its a wa/wb and I probably cant go for 3 streets, and betting even half pot might get Kxxx with random diamonds to fold where as if I check I might trap him into a lower flush or let him spazz out with that hand?

thanks for input thus far guys

1. id bet, but idk if its a b/c or b/f.

2. c/f

3. check turn w/ no history, and river bet is way too thin since you have Qd and Jd.

4. looks good.

this is an obvious but good point. Unfortunately it wasnt so obvious that I realized this when I was playing the hand. If I had I definitely would not have shoved

I'd bet pretty small for value in that hand one. If he raises I think I'd fold. From the read I don't expect him to get c/r bluffy here against you, especially after you lead twice. I want you to bet small enough where he will be tempted to draw at a flush or some other draw and might call with a KQ/AK type hand as well. If he raises I'd fold, he doesn't seem like the type of player you need to play these spots too tricky against to show a profit. Basically, he sounds like a bad player and you don't have get into positions where you're calling and only beating a bluff because he's bad enough where you'll get great value in other spots and his bluffing range, albeit unknown, is probably on the smaller side at this point in the match and even IF he is bluffing, you'll still have to dodge outs.

C/F hand two.

For hand 3 I really like the turn bet. It probably is a case of wa/wb on the turn but there is still a ton of value in that turn situation for you to go after. I think you're reasonably only behind a slowplayed KKxx and the random 2xxx that doesn't get played stronger on the flop for some reason, and imo thats a pretty small range to worry about HU. I think you should be thinking value on this turn for sure from Kxxxx hands, mainly AK and KT. Again, the harder you bet the turn, the more I dislike that bet. If the opponent is a better HU player I really like the bet size because it looks a little bluffy and weak. If the opponent is a unknown, less aggressive abc'ish player...like if you get the feeling his is a 6max player trying out HU, then I'd bet something like $40 or $50. By the river though, theres almost nothing that should call here that you beat. The flush on the paired board gets there and you shove like you could care less should really tighten up his calling range...which is something you don't want. Since you block all the solid flush draws, your "value" shove targets and extremely small range of random hero calls and nothing else. You're better of checking and trying to induce bluffs than shoving here and trying to get a hero call from a weaker hand. Add the fact that its still possible that you're up against a fullhouse and it gives more weight to checking the river.
