WaterLooser;149274 wroteI have to agree with many of the comments. I posted this because it felt odd playing this way. Yes I won, yes my opponent was a complete donkey (calling with 38 soooooted).
I have been thinking about this a lot and the fact that my opponent would not fold a HUGE range of hands preflop. What is the point of raising a bunch (especially with weak holdings) when he can't fold? If I don't hit, I either bluff off all my chips with an all-in bet (that prob gets called with bottom pair or A high) or fold. Seems like an opponent like that is more worth trying to trap (as I did in the very last hand).
The K9 I shoulda pushed, played that badly. What other hands here to you raise with? Blinds are big, why even try to limp with Td 6d? If he raises, I have to fold, just threw a bet away.
I've played a few heads up games and have one thing to say about this post. I didn't check to see your chip size and everything on the hand you mentioned, but here would be my take on it, based on how the other player was playing.
Td 6d. Well, that's a decent hand. If you get two diamonds, you're on a flush draw, and you could get close to a straight. It's a little far fetched, but possible. Flopping a T would mean a raise on your part. Either way, you have a mediocre hand, so in my opinion, raise it like you have the nuts. Chances are he will fold or call. In this situation no matter what happened on the flop, I would raise. If he re-raises, I would fold. If not, he calls, you can likely see a free river card.
The hand has potential. This is a perfect hand to try to steal blinds with. DON'T LET HIM RAISE YOU unless you have the nuts. When strong, act weak, and when weak, act strong. That's how I play and it seems to work ok.
Any other advice on this? I want to hear back about my HU play as well. Would this be an ok move in this situation?
