I had A-10 of spade reraised to 25$, headsup

flop comes queen-2-5 and opponent checks I put in a bet of 50$

turn comes a 4 and opponent paired his A-4 off suit and leads out with 75$ I reraise all in and he takes about 10 seconds and calls.

Did I do something wrong here? I bet the flop and this guy still calls my all in with about 300$ behind with a pair of 4s

Bit more details are needed.
1. Cash or SNG
2. Blind level
3. Image

One aspect I will point out is tendencies pay off heads up especially at lower limits.
So if a player bluffs he does it to much,or if he traps he traps to much.
So if you even once showed that you cbet the flop with over cards he may think he is good with low pair. Most people will not cbet the flop with 2nd or 3rd best pairings and will check to see where they are at.

Anyways need more details.

Was a dryboard... he had a gutshot incase he was wrong.

You arent going to raise here with a big hand like ever...
You cant rep anything and villain cant be strong either

It looks like a bad bluff. If you had a set of queens u wouldve called behind hoping to keep him in

was a weird flop for whast your were/trying to represent. He had a gut shot straight draw and the board was dry so he either figured two things. 1. that you had miss and his 4s with top kicker was good or that you had sumthing like AQ-KQ and was hoping to connect with the gutshot. I probably would have folded the pair of 4s but clearly you were up against a loose player. It happens, his call however would give you info on the type of player he is for future reference

I have no idea what you mean "weird" i'm betting my ace-queen so someone doesn't hit some kind of weird ace-x suited that could have formed a straight.
He didn't hit the 4 until the TURN and I had placed a bet as soon as the flop hit. The entire night I was reraising with AQ and anything above so I was hoping it would have been a quick fold for him but I guess not. He ended up losing the rest of his stack making loose calls later on anyway. I think he lost all his chips on a preflop 85 off suit

I'm sure he would have folded from jam on the flop but was too dangerous to do that

It's just a cooler. It's HU, and that means he just has to get by the one opponent (you). The flop's dry and Q-high. He has an overcard and a gutterball draw. He has more than enough to justify calling that board.

He binks a four that beats pocket treys and flopped deuces, and all A-high, no pair hands, so he's ahead of a reasonable piece of your range. Even if he guessed wrong, and he's up against a pair of queens or better, he still has that gutterball straight draw, and now the added equity of binking another four.

If anything looks wrong here, it was the shove. Considering everything that's happened before, this play looks bluffy. I would play it one of two ways: min-raise his $75 stab, or call it. You want to look like a TP or better that wants a call after he leads. You wouldn't jam with pocket aces, kings, a set or a queen, would you? You'd want that call. A turn jam looks like someone who wants this hand over right now, and that means A-high that doesn't want to continue.

Depending on the player, you can either check back the riv to see if you're still good, or make a play to take it away then. When you decide to bluff, the last thing you want is to make it look like a desperation play.

All im saying it could have been a case where he though you missed the flop. Im just saying it is poosible but i did went unto say that it was a loose play and that he sounded like a loose player and now you're confirming he did actually busted later on because of his looseness. However is actually was a dry flop, not saying he shouldve called your all in but playing till the turn wasnt all that bad. It was poor decision yes but being on a gutshot straight draw on the flop isnt actually a bad thing to call your bet to see the turn. He had so many outs on the flop, had more outs than you actually, so it wasnt a bad call to see the turn. The call to the all-in was awful but hes a loose head so thats what they tend to do

yeah, I thought to myself if I reraised his 75$ bet to all in after he hit his pair of 4's it would have totally convinced him that I had the queen trying to bet off a draw.... could not understand. He had a few drinks but that was it.

Online basically only fish lead out like that, and bluffing fish is bad.

Maybe you bluff too much hand, and your opponent decided to catch you anyway.

Maybe he knew he was good?

I had A-10 of spade reraised to 25$, headsup

flop comes queen-2-5 and opponent checks I put in a bet of 50$

turn comes a 4 and opponent paired his A-4 off suit and leads out with 75$ I reraise all in and he takes about 10 seconds and calls.

Did I do something wrong here? I bet the flop and this guy still calls my all in with about 300$ behind with a pair of 4s


a4 is a good hand when the turn comes a 4 unless you had a-q or aa. Any ace gives him 2 pair he has that wheel draw. Maybe he was just dumb and didn't put you on kq or qj and only was thinking about his hand and not your hand. remember average players only define their hands and not yours. Next time fold,or just call 75 to hit the 10,or ace and see what kinda bet he makes on the river give him a chance to make a mistake! This time however your blunder was a bluff to a station with no pair or real outs to a win vs a chop.

it was always explained to me, Overbetting is a strong move that looks weak, and underbetting is a weak move that looks strong

so when you say you reraised him all in and completely inflated the pot the opponent has time to think, you have been showing strong hands and your a tight player, which means you will cbet, but you probably wont double barrel a bluff, so he takes the lead, when he takes the lead, you go over the top and it looks weak, so enemy can easily think his hand is good here, no way you would play a hand that strongly if you had connected

that being said, he was a loose player, and he did go busto, so sounds like he overplayed all his hands, which means you wanted to get value from your made hands, and not bluffed him even in this situation

this is a live game

I think you are not getting responses you want because you have left out big pieces of the story. Like the above changes a lot of dynamics and changes what I thought was a headsup game to you playing a player headsup at a 6 max or fullring. Dynamics mean a lot if you are trying to get help from what went wrong.

he did not flop a pair at all, turned a pair of 4s

I never stated he flopped a pair,I said he had a low pair.


The fact you are showing hands is a sign you are feeding to much info to the table. Stop giving freed reads,even if you think it is misleading the table its just to tricky to balance when and when not to show without giving off a tell.
Due to showing you gave off what you are doing with certain hands and knowing this it does not matter if you where caught bluffing at all.

Live is also a total different monster than online and if you switch tables to often like you are planning you will look like a ratholer that takes chips off the table and buys in at min at a different table,people do notice this.

As for the hand if I have any read on you I am snapping off with 44 knowing only two cards are going to help you most often. Due to the shows he can narrow down the range as well. Something people forget about live is a lot of math is done unknowingly and what may seem like instinct is actually taking a lot of factors in over the play at the table.

I would stop showing hands and that should help you out a lot,most people bantering at the table are doing so to keep you giving free reads.

The player is not a fish as most are saying here with the 44,its actual looking like he had a good read on your range.

yeah I think I should have called the bet and then perhaps see what he does on river which I assume he would lead out again since he already lead out on turning his pair of 4's with a queen showing...
