Title: HU, flop bet 2 big? Check Turn? Post by: shipitgood on January 08, 2014, 05:57:14 PM This hand here, not been playing against oppo for long, think he's quite a decent HU player. Its a HU Cash table 20nl.
I think the best move is possibly to check the turn? He's called a big bet on the flop, felt he'd call the turn bet. I have Ks Aspades, villain has £17.92 I have £21.20 s/b, I minraise button 2 40p, Villian 3 bets to 0.80, I 4 bet to £2.40, villain calls, pot is £5.60 Flop, 2c 9c Kh Villian checks, I bet £4.80 he calls, pot is £15.20 (villain has £10.52 behind) Turn 8d villain checks, I set him all in.

Post by: DMorgan on January 08, 2014, 09:45:02 PM Could 4bet slightly bigger to 2.80 but not a big deal, standard flop size would be a bit smaller to try to give the illusion of fold equity and get him to continue with JT/QT/QJ type hands that are probably folding to the big sizing but we still probably get at least a flop call from TT-QQ, weaker Kx etc, although at 20NL against someone that would 3bet with this size theres probably a decent chance that you're getting called one street by JT/QJ/QT anyway.
Going with a standard-ish half pot size you end up with a slightly awkward SPR of 1.2ish so you'd have to bet probably about a third of his stack on the turn to get about the right size river jam but tbh his turn+river calling range of TT-QQ, worse Kx is probably calling a turn jam anyway for 1.2x pot. Nut line here I think is to 4b a little bigger pre which gives you room to make a ~60% of the pot bet on the flop and jam turn for ~80% of pot |
