I always find it really hard to comment on these HU hands because so much comes down to the dynamic of the game.

My first question would be why don't you cbet that flop?

Calling the turn is fine. That wasn't a brilliant card, 87 got there if he possibly has that.

I probably fold this river though. I'm struggling to work out what you beat. He has to assume you've hit that ace now you're raising, so I don't know what he's 3-betting with here that you can beat. He could be bluffing I guess. The raise from you was fine I think, it gets value from a lot of hands you've now beat such as Jx hands etc. But once he 3bets I probably fold.

Reveal is no doubt going to be you called and got shown 32o

ur losing to a couple of combos of 78 and he could easily be 3betting A5/A6/J9 for value. Snappaments.

If oppo hasn't got a set of 5's I'll eat my hat.


EDIT: I still call though just in case.

up to the river your hand is pretty under-repped and he can have weaker 2 pairs or been on an ace hi flush draw as well as the few hands that beat you.

in absence of reads this is a call
