Title: HU - Crap Call or Inspired Read? Post by: Junior Senior on June 01, 2006, 01:43:26 PM Playing Heads Up ($50 1 on 1 game) and we have been going for about 25 minutes - its already a long game and the chips are just in my favour. - I have been behind alot of the game but am starting to get on top now. This hand comes up and i am still gob smacked at his call here! (I am playing as thecharge)
My questions are: Does my bluff suck? Is this a crap call by him or an inspired read? PokerStars Game #5117545354: Tournament #25721613, $50.00+$2.50 Hold'em No Limit - Match Round I, Level III (25/50) - 2006/06/01 - 08:22:02 (ET) Table '25721613 1' 2-max Seat #2 is the button Seat 1: tytewad (1175 in chips) Seat 2: thecharge (1825 in chips) thecharge: posts small blind 25 tytewad: posts big blind 50 *** HOLE CARDS *** Dealt to thecharge [6h Jh] thecharge: raises 100 to 150 tytewad: calls 100 *** FLOP *** [As Ts 2c] tytewad: checks thecharge: bets 150 tytewad: calls 150 *** TURN *** [As Ts 2c] [7s] tytewad: checks thecharge: checks *** RIVER *** [As Ts 2c 7s] [6s] tytewad: checks thecharge: bets 200 tytewad: calls 200 *** SHOW DOWN *** thecharge: shows [6h Jh] (a pair of Sixes) tytewad: shows [9d Th] (a pair of Tens) tytewad collected 1000 from pot He check/called me with just a pair of 10's with no spade! - I can't beleive he called without a big spade in his hand! - unreal!..... thoughts. I won the game btw :D Title: Re: HU - Crap Call or Inspired Read? Post by: Bongo on June 01, 2006, 01:55:05 PM My initial thought: If you had a spade surely you'd bet the turn?
And he's getting 4:1 on the call. Title: Re: HU - Crap Call or Inspired Read? Post by: SupaMonkey on June 01, 2006, 02:08:11 PM In your oppo's shoes i would see; your flop bet after my check is meaningless, it's a standard play (actually i would have reraised you, but that's me). I think your turn check is very weak here and therefore i would expect a big bet from you on the end if you actually had the flush. I think there would be enough doubt in my mind to call you with a semi decent hand.

Title: Re: HU - Crap Call or Inspired Read? Post by: Junior Senior on June 01, 2006, 02:58:43 PM all good points - thanks!
too weak on the turn and too obvious on the river coupled with too small-a bet. Title: Re: HU - Crap Call or Inspired Read? Post by: Highstack on June 01, 2006, 03:33:47 PM I would have called you too, but then h/u, I would have put a decent bet in on the flop and turn. No free cards. I know its h/u but T is not like A or K where you can perhaps allow some catch up.
