Heads up theory question

Postby iceman5 » Mon Feb 05, 2007 3:11 pm

$1/$2 NL heads up.

I raise to $7 with [Ts][8s]. He calls.
Pot $14. Flop [9c][7d][4h]. He checks, I bet $11 and he calls.

Pot $36. Turn [Jd]. I bet $24 and he check raises to $62. Do you prefer

a) shove it all in....I have the nuts and probably has 2 pair and will call. It will also stop him from raising the turn as a bluff or semibluff when I CB $11 on the flop and $24 on the turn when I have nothing....

b) Just call. I have position and he will value bet the river with 2 pair...and may bluff off more money on the river if he has nothing. There was an earlier hand where I called $6 with [9d][6d]....I call his pot sized flop bet with [Qc][5d][4d] flop. Turn [3s] went check /check...river was the [2d]. I checked it to him and he bet $24 with [Ac][8c] so I know he will bluff the river if I look weak.

If the board were completely rainbow, I would be more likely to go with option b. But I would hate to lose value (or the hand) if the board flushes on the end. Plus Ts and 8s kill your action. I reraise now.

Because he check raised, I get it all in now and I push as fast as possible. I don't think people who check raise are folding very often there.

If he had just raised you I might play for the river.

Be glad your opponents refuse to fold; if they didn't, you just might go broke.

I pushed, he folded. I think that being in position, its probably better to just call.
