$2.09 4-man HU

**Ender** · 01-21-2011 10:40 AM

Just started playing around with heads up play, seems a little less stressful than the 45-man/9-man SnG's I usually play. I think I may just approach a HU match better than a longer game.

This is the final table villain, I had their table in the corner while I played (handled) my first opponent. He's 3-betting frequently (HU I know), but I think it's more chasing draws than pairs/2 pairs.

Would you re-raise less to get him to continue? Or flat call his second raise on the turn and shove river?

I don't see how you play this hand any better, you got him to put in 1600 chips on the turn with absolutely nothing.

Flat his c/r on the turn. Most of the time he will have a pretty nutted hand here, which you will more than likely get it in by the river because there aren't too many scare cards.

The reason for flating turn is because for the small % he does have air you let him barrel off on the river. I think for any trips+ value hand he has it really doesnt make a difference if you raise turn or flat imo
