Title: Heads up cash - at what point should I have folded?
Post by: chrisbruce on July 29, 2008, 11:01:51 AM
about 25 hands into a heads up game that has had a lot of pre flop aggression.

I feel i should be able to get away from stacking off here but at what point should I of folded?

When you re-raised and were re- re-raised, What range do you have him on here?

Preflop its a pretty bold statement, preflop I am giving him credit for a hand.

If this was Live, I am probably folding pre, Given its online I make the call because I dont have the time to work through the hand I am calling and donking it off.

I await abuse.

Chris,

I think you either fold to the final reraise PF or go with it.
Calling pre then folding at any point after would be very bad.

Ranging a 4 bet as ahead of JJ is purely opponent / game dynamics dependent, but HU JJ is massive and many opponents will play this strong 99+, AQ+ (or lighter).

If there has been a lot of aggression preflop, and this pattern of preflop raises has occurred before, then the hand is a bit of a cooler. If not, and this sequence of events is a rarity, then you should make up your mind whether you're going to fold or not preflop. Calling the final raise and seeing a flop out of position doesn't work for me.

LOL at you getting any action with a name like hitandrun in HU cash.

If you fold this at any point you will be exploaitable in hu cash imo

At what point do you think you could have made a different decision?

I'd shove pre or fold pre.  Honestly with reads I could fold this preflop but after 25 hands i'd have a tough time doing so especially if you've been actively 3 betting him.  I think shoving pre is far superior to flatting since the lower part of his range is still going to have decent equity vs you (big queens/kings/aces) and any big pair is going in after the flop anyway.  If your intention is to call and shut down on any ace/king high flop then you should get it in pre or fold preflop.  Given that you've called, folding on that flop would be epically exploitable.  Villain would just 4 bet you every hand (since you don't even shove jacks!) and then bet every single flop (since you're considering folding jacks!).  But ya, its a cooler whatever, ul
