$50nl HU- we have a lot of history in a short time

Villain Sh@i'tan on Pokerstars if anyone plays these games. We both have been really active OTB but calling OOP has been to a minimum. I'm new to the Stars game and was just looking for some action.

I've already snapped off two of his bluffs ($11 into $15 each time) with middlish pair type hands in 3bet pots where he cbet, turn went c/c and he fired the river, air both times (not thin-valuebets). I also floated him in a 3bet pot with air, he c/r'ed AI on the turn, I folded my King high and he turned up Queen high (no pair, no draw), obv...

Here are my notes on villain:

The second of those 2 hands just happened right before this one.

He's got to be a reg because:
A. He 3bets
B. He has auto-reloads
-BUT-
C. Being a reg does not mean he is any good at poker, just probably aggro enough to beat these games.

Onto the hand in question, he's definitely tilting

HH's messing up
Villain $50
Hero covers

Here is BTN with :9c: :9d:
Hero raises to $1.50, BB raises to $5(normal 3bet size), Hero calls

Flop ($10) :7c: :7d: :5c:
BB bets $6 (normal cbet in 3bet pot) Hero calls

Turn ($22) :2d:
BB bets $14 (had never 2barrelled in 3bet pots), Hero calls

River ($50) :2h:
BB bets $25 and is all-in, Hero calls

Final Pot: $100

His note on you:

"Calling station".

I think I like this, but I'm not surprised if we're beaten.

I might do the same thing. I might not. You'll have to find out during the HU tourney. :snooty:

:D

a little too early for a hijack guys

I know but couldn't resist. Back to the topic.

Yeah, my bad. I think this is standard. Especially if you think his range includes air like two overcards. If he just bluffed you out of a pot w/ nothing, he may be trying to get tricky. I like how you shoved it in his face.

This is a really tough spot. Turn is very close and river is very close. I must say I'm very tempted to just fold the turn, i am very surprised villain isnt going with the c/r all in on the turn with an overpair, which is why i think your line is fine. Also I suspect he checks the river with an overpair a fair amount too.
The sucky part is he can easily show up with a 7, and im betting that's what he had. Still, we can't fold i dont think, but as i said turn and river are really close.

I know I know, had i not just picked off a bluff the hand before and thought he was tilting I wouldn't have done it, that might be backwards reasoning though.

He had air obv.
