This guy made me so angry at the start of our heads up match just always raising me/ 3 betting me and floating flops when i cbet, Was really smashing me i started with a 22$ stack and he bought in for the max which was 4$ and pretty much took down my whole stack. Near the end i started picking up on his style and started flat calling more and check raising but still he was too good for me. Im just going to avoid playing heads up against strong players when the table dies down. I guess i should have folded when he went all in on the river. Either was a bluff or had at least two pair. And they way he was playing i dont think he would bluff into a big pot like that. But i snapped called him. Maybe if i was playing my A game i could have folded but this guy just got me so frustrated and angrier earlier. Haha i even said to myself when i was down to 10$. You should probly quit before this guy takes the rest of your money. But i just didnt want to even tho i knew it was the right thing to do..

like u said he was either bluffing or had u beat so it really depends on how he was playing beforehand hard to say weather you pLayed it wrong with out knowing his style alittle better.

Being in the same situation I probably would've done the same thing. I don't think you played this badly.

Although, I'm not entirely sure that I would've called on the re-raise, much less the all-in. KK does look super pretty, especially in heads up when your opponent is kind of annoying you. But with a board like that after the turn? I may have just been out after the re-raise on an expectation of either Aces or two pair. Wouldn't expect a straight in that situation though.

I think you made the right play. I would do the same. You raised pre-flop, bet big on the flop, turn and river. The way your opponent played its legit because, well, it´s heads up so anyone can play anything specially a loose player like him and another crucial thing: he had position. If it happened in a tournament or cash game with many other players i would say that he played bad, it´s too risky play a hand like that. To prove it i will do the math: playing head´s up you had 83% chances to win and 17% of lose. In a tournament table with 9 other players he only had less that half of 17%, even less. It make total difference.

I think you can fold to the raise but thats just me. What hand could he be repping? Only a bluff is a hand you can beat. I would probably check turn and call river.

The check raise on the turn is a red flag. And the all in shove on the river pretty much seals it. You're repping strength all the way. I don't thnk he's gonna be bluffing into that.

If he's got a smaller overpair, he probably would have raised you on the flop if he thinks you have AK/AQ, etc. If he feels you have an overpair, he would be calling with his PP. That he raised you probably means you're dead.

I agree with blueskies with the firstline he said. Shove on the river is just burning money, if he's calling a check-raise he's definetly going to be calling a shove. With a board like that though you'd most likely run into 2pair or trips.

Remember you only have 1 pair afterall... Sure it looks great at the start but the longer it goes the higher chance they'll catch you. Blocking the river probably would've saved you money rather than shoving. But only bad players would fold in that spot and call you there

I guess the shove had to be done with your check/raise and I think your check/raise is where you went horribly wrong. When you did that you made the pot out of control and put you in a spot where your going all-in and I think we want to avoid that since we only have 1pair.

Best of luck... Sorry I type and think sametime :)

don't show results in hands, makes fools bias.

I would def call the turn. river is a poss a fold, I think calling with KK is OK, but 9x TT and JJ are def folds. QQ-AA are meh.

I think villain is the one who chk/raised turn and shoved river.

Very little chance for hero to be ahead against this line.

If he's as lag as you describe I probably would have reraised the turn and ended up with the exact same result. Unfortunate hand, but not necessarily played bad by you.

This is it--

You have to fold these hands sometimes and move on- sometimes with a loose player he may be drawing there with a pair so I dont see much wrong with calling the raise on the turn. But snap calling the river shove should be a fold most of the time with that line
