Heads Up NL Poker Forums

We just started a new duel and had played 5 or 6 hands up to this hand.
From other sessions i had 200 hands on him!
Steal: 69%
3bet: 14%
Fold to Steal: 49%
Fold to Cbet: 46%
Fold to TurnCbet: 33%

Check-Raise Flop: 23%
WSD 36%
Aggression-Frequency: F/T/R : 42%/26%/27%

And i have only following relevant read on him:

1) 3-bets Middle Pocketpairs (88,etc..)
2) CB-Bets $1,54 into $3-Pot w/ KK on T77ss + just call X-Raise, Check-backs Turn 5sss,
3) CB-Bets close to pot@ Turn AK9ssQcc (after 50%-Flop CB) and folds to X-Raise
4) Can call down K-high on low-card-paired board

Nevertheless i did not look im up when he X-Raised me.

I dont think he 77 in this spot and given his 3-bet percentage not many AJ, AT combos.
So i think his range is mostly 33, TwoPair, GS, Flushdraws, and Air.

Calling here is "standard" unless you think you can induce his flush draws to re-raise or check-raise/call with a click back (i.e. you're "no way folding")

I'm kind of at a loss for what the question is here?

Thanks for the answer. :-)

I dont have a good feeling for this spots. Im feeling always like an idiot, calling them down in this spots, showing me 2-Pair or sets :-)

So i just wanted know, how is the proper way to handle this spots, because there are so common.

In this particular spot, i just spazzed out and jamed All-In

Check-Raise Flop: 23%

Either call and let him bluff, or reraise and let him bluff shove draws.

If you call every hand you want to contine playing vs a check/raise in position then you can't really make a mistake on the flop.

Okay !
So the worst play is folding ! The Second worst is shoving !
Without any dynamic is calling better than reraising ?

Two questions:

1) what is your betsizing Wehen you decide to reraise the Flop ?
Just clicking it back ? Or smth to 11-14 $ ?

2) What is your gameplan when you decide to call his check-raise and a or 2,3,6 or 7 are turned ?
How so you procide with a blank turn ?

As a default, calling your entire continuation range to a check/raise is never wrong. As far as bet sizing, I always click it back to induce a call or a shove. There are a couple situations were I'd shove myself, but they're really infrequent.

As far as your game plan is concerned on various turn cards, you really have to figure that out yourself because it depends on how you and your opponent perceive board textures.

With a 23% checkraise there is alot of air in his range. You are unlikely to induce a shove or a call from anything much except the flush draws by 3betting the flop, so call and let him continue bluffing.

I would probably be stacking off alot here if a heart comes on the turn or river since I would expect someone checkraising that much to try and rep hearts with his air more often than having a value hand - unless I have a read that he gives up alot after checkraising.
