Just came second in a Sit N Groan tourney, first time in a while I've gone heads up with someone who just kept pummelling away at me no matter what.
Down to 2, he has 5000, I have 1000. Blinds are 75-150. He loves his button, has been playing it since he became big stack bully.
So in BB I have
, he does his button raise thing to 450. I went all in and lost (naturally).
I know a pair is huge heads up, and both players having pairs is pretty rare, so I know long term I'm ahead. But I've been thinking for a while that given a board is about twice as large as a flop, is the best play here to just call and then go all in on the flop no matter what?
If I reraise all in preflop he has to call. If he does not have a pair the odds against him hitting the flop are quite good, so I may get him to fold if he hits nothing on the flop?
