HU cash match analysis TLDR

Duggs HU cash thread
This is a shit load of hands, iv removed all the preflop fold ones but i open more than he does and he tends to 3bet more than i do, i also flat 3bets alot wider than he does. there are some very spewy hands here. I think my preflop sizing is a leak, not really sure.

All v the same opponent and in chronological order i left out the boring ones, Ill likely just be doing my own analysis and thoughts in here as itl be so tldr for most

SB: $57.09
Hero (BB): $60.71

SB posts SB $0.25, Hero posts BB $0.50

Pre Flop: ($0.75) Hero has 9h Ts

SB raises to $1.50, Hero calls $1.00

Flop: ($3.00, 2 players) Jc 6h 9s
Hero checks, SB bets $2.28, Hero calls $2.28

Turn: ($7.56, 2 players) Td
Hero checks, SB bets $5.77, Hero calls $5.77

River: ($19.10, 2 players) 4s
Hero checks, SB bets $14.88, Hero calls $14.88

SB shows 8h 5s (High Card, Jack) (Pre 32%, Flop 19%, Turn 18%)
Hero shows 9h Ts (Two Pair, Tens and Nines) (Pre 68%, Flop 81%, Turn 82%)
Hero wins $48.36


on the flop i expect him to check back some air and some Ax and bet all his 9x Jx draws (oesd gutters) and some of his absolute junk that wont improve

on the turn he has some KQ 78 J10 and some super blocked monsters, he would also likely barrel like JQ Q10 here,

on the river i considered barreling, but my range looks like 9x Jx 77 99 and other hands that can probably be barreled off in his mind. i dont see the value in raising cause i dont think he 3bet bluffs enough to r/f and i dont think given im an unknown that he will call with worse very often.

BB: $57.94
Hero (SB): $105.66

Pre Flop: ($0.75) Hero has Tc 2c

Hero raises to $1.00, BB calls $0.50

Flop: ($2.00, 2 players) Kh 5s Td
BB checks, Hero checks

Turn: ($2.00, 2 players) 6c
BB bets $2.00, Hero calls $2.00

River: ($6.00, 2 players) Kd
BB bets $5.50, Hero calls $5.50

BB shows Kc 7c (Three of a Kind, Kings) (Pre 65%, Flop 82%, Turn 89%)
Hero mucks Tc 2c (Two Pair, Kings and Tens) (Pre 35%, Flop 18%, Turn 11%)
BB wins $16.50

i dont know if i should be value betting this, i wanted to check back because i felt he would fire alot of air on this flop so i thought i could get his air to bet 2 streets, not sure if i should lead river cause its such a shit card for his range and mine so i may get calls from Ax.

BB: $66.44
Hero (SB): $96.66

Hero posts SB $0.25, BB posts BB $0.50

Pre Flop: ($0.75) Hero has 7c Ad

Hero raises to $1.00, BB raises to $4.50, Hero calls $3.50

Flop: ($9.00, 2 players) 4h 8c 3s
BB bets $5.50, Hero calls $5.50

Turn: ($20.00, 2 players) Th
BB bets $11.50, Hero calls $11.50

River: ($43.00, 2 players) 5c
BB bets $44.94 and is all-in, fold

BB wins $42.50

I feel like flatting the 3bet is fine since he is 3betting light quite a bit, Im unsure whether to call river because there is a reasonable value range out there, 88 1010+ A10, but other than that i cant see him tripling anything for value, it sucks when he has A9 and i lose to a bluff of his tho, really unsure.

i check flop because i have show down value on this texture and its a really hard board to bet for folds and i cant bet for value and i dont want to double or triple this texture very often.
I feel that i rep virtually nothing on that turn card. so just check back
on the river i feel i rep like Jx alot and he has similar or better hands but might be vbetting thin with bottom pair or with Ax but this way i make him fold everything but Jx

Hero wins $124.96

i see no value in raising flop as he wont have many Kx hands he is leading and i stack the 8x hands no matter what anyway, this keeps all his air in the range.
turn is a great barrel card for him so again raising reps a stronger range than calling as i can have alot of smaller pairs and weaker Kx he is trying to barrel off. on river i obv snap but im surprised he fired river since that card actually connects ok with my range, I determined that he very rarely fires two and gives up based on this hand.

3bet pre seems std.
i think the turn card is actually ok to barrel since he knows i rep less, since i have 1010+ in my range and 9x and 10x . i dont like barreling with this hand tho since i only really fold out 4x and underpairs and even then only maybe, but then c/c seems gross on flop or turn I dunno. confused

I think i should be betting this flop, except iv been checking back alot and folding so i thought i could check back and let him bluff too streets, plus he has alot of combos of Kx and better 8x in his range.
on the turn this an ideal spot to range because i look super fos because my range becomes very air weighted since there arent many value hands i check back raise turn, i bigger on river since i rep virtually nothing and Kx down to decent 8x all call and are all in villains range. alot of draws would 3bet turn so most of his range is marginal showdown hands

i guess floating his 3bet is std. i dont know whether to raise flop, he has been 3betting pretty polarised so this flop largely misses him, i guess calling flop is ok. i check turn largely to induce a river bluff, but really i think i played my hand pretty face up here, given i overbet for value in the last hand i underbet here to make him think i might have air/turning a small pair into a bluff kind of thing.

unsure what to do on flop, i like check because i have decent sdv and can bet later streets for value, i do kind of like betting because we get value from a ton of floats, if i do check its to let him bluff so i call turn, at river i think he has a pair and its hard for me to make him fold anything so i give up.

this is gross, he doesnt rep much, but then i rep even less he should have heaps of Ax in his range but can have A4/A7/A8 i guess that he just isnt folding. I guess my range looks super air/nut weighted and he wont fold often, i think if i call i can get him off hands but really i should just b/f or c/f flop

dude. http://www.handconverter.com/

ignore the first post pile of hands, that was just tidy to put them there but i cant remove them anymore, mod will

Holy hell... will try to take a look when I have some time to sift through the madness. Also, you should try to label your hands perhaps (Hand 1, Hand 2, etc.)

bump.
