Kerouacsdog: 9s 6h DarkAngel_11: -- -- ok, final hand of a 50 CENT SNG, hero(me) is incredibly loose, but I have reads on the other guy, he's very good at sngs, likes to continue bet on the flop, and likes to bet anything if he hits anything. One of us won the whole thing this hand, as you can see I have nearly double his chipcount, the stacks have yo-yoed a lot between us. Firstly, what's my action here, as Im small blind? |

| You either raise 3x big blind and get a call, or get raised.... I'll guess raise 3x with a call One question though, how have you normally been playing pre-flop hands in heads up part. Limping, Raising every hand? etc. Last edited by PokerDave : 5th September 2008 at 12:35 AM. Reason: Because I have the ability to predict entire hands with only the most miniscule amount of info. |

| You gave the surprise ending away in your op. Since the average hand is a pair of 7.5's you have an average hand meaning half the time villain will be sitting better, but the other half villain is dominated. Since poker is mucho bluster buster, you raise pf, and get called. |

DarkAngel_11 calls I raise it enough, cause I want a call. We are both action players, so there's a lot of action PF, I dont wanna bet him out, as 69os is a very nice hand at HU to a flop, imo..................... anyone wanna guess the flop? |

| re: Test hand for SNGers @ micro stake, please take part! poker why do you want a call?? 6,9 is hardly a great hand to take to a flop, since it rarely flops a confident hand plus effectively every hand villains calls pre flop with has you beat. With this hand your looking to take it down preflop, and if called, take it down on the flop with a c-bet. Anyway, i raise to 300 preflop, your the chip leader so put pressure on villain As for the flop, i'm guessing the 2s,5c,kh |

Look at it this way. 10-2 is a 13% favorite over 6-9, even though (10+2)/2 = 6 and (6+9)/2 = 7.5. Therefore, it is much more important heads up to have one high card than a high average, as much of the time a high kicker is all that is needed to win. |

Flop (board: 5c 4c 8h): DarkAngel_11 bets 400. OK, here's the flop, it's given me a straight draw (gutshot?) and one overcard. Villian bets 400, half the pot, what's he got (range will be enough for now), and what's our move..................... |

| Your comfort at this point is the fact that villain can not felt you. But you are way behind 1/2 the time. You can't check, as villain would bet you out of this pot. You could shove, at great peril. I'm thinking you repeat the last street bets. If villain has nothing he might give it up as a repeat bet here sort of looks like a value bet. This of course assumes he could recognize a value bet. Personally I would proceed cautiously with a great leaning toward chip conservation. I'm guessing from everything you've mentioned so far that you chose to push, perhaps pretty hard here. |

Villian bets the pot, what's he got, and what do I do? |

| ugh, pretty tough spot here. We are only really ahead of flush draws and 8's. Without stats or major reads, i sigh and just flat call, although it doesn't seem like a great option, folding is way to nitty imo and raising is obviously bad. So I flat call and kind of expect villain to have flush draw + overs, an everything draw, an 8 or 2 pair. Given his range that i have just written however, the right play is probably to shove over the top here, but it just doesn't feel like the most ideal play. sigh, i really don't know, i probably shove now i've thought about it more, since our 9 is most likely good, and i don't mind playing for stacks, since we are either ahead of flush draws or combo draws, but also have quite a few outs against 2 pair hands. We have also seriously under repped our hand in a weird way. Villain is very unlikely to put us on our current holding, and most likely thinks we are drawing/have overcards, so could easily be potting any pair here, so ye i shove Edit: The above post, is my actual thought processes put into writing, so mind the scruffiness and unstructuredness |

| I just realized I made up the math there...thought more was already in the pot. Close enough, you're not calling and folding the river. Decide now if you're ahead, don't let villain save some chips on the river if its a bluff draw...although its probably going in either way. Last edited by D'wilius : 8th September 2008 at 12:12 AM. |
