Title: HU Hand Post by: byronkincaid on February 14, 2007, 12:29:35 AM I'm not sure if it's possible to analyse HU hands, I realise it all depends but interested in your thoughts on this.
Near start of session, we know that villain is a good player probably plays 1/2 or 2/4 NL for a living, he has started extremely aggressively raising almost every hand. Table "London703" Seat 1 is the button. Seat 1: Horal ($217.25 in chips) Seat 2: -Gotcha- ($199 in chips) Horal: posts small blind $1 -Gotcha-: posts big blind $2 ----- HOLE CARDS ----- dealt to -Gotcha- [Jh Js] Horal: raises to $8 -Gotcha-: raises to $26 Horal: calls $18 ----- FLOP ----- [6d Ks Ad] -Gotcha-: bets $40 Horal: raises to $80 -Gotcha-: A min raise could be a cheap way to steal the pot or it could be a monster.

Generally i would say he has the Ace or King in this situation with the min raise. HU a min raise doesn't necesarilly show weakness. There are better places to get your money in and I wouldn't like to do it here..UNLESS you think he can lay a weak Ace down, in which case you can push. In this situation with Pocket Jacks and this flop I prefer the check raise against a player who called the pre-flop raise. He is more likely then not to have a stab at the pot and if you check raise him youare showing more strenght then when you're leading out on this flop. The odds of him laying it down are bigger with a check raise. |
