Heads Up NL Poker Forums

I start off by limping which looking back I would say was a mistake. I was thinking at the time, that I would try and vary my raising and limping range for whatever reason. Though I should have just kept raising because he was calling just about everything. When he checks back I can't really read into it because he had never 3 bet me in the few games we played here.

The flop I feel okay betting as a c-bet because he was folding to a decent amount of him and if he called I could pick up some equity on other cards.

I land the 10 and I feel pretty safe. It's possible for him to have 89 in his hand but he's got such a wide range I can't really be too scared of it. any 2 suited are possible as well. I bet half which is standard for me even as a bluff

Then the river, a bit of a scare card for me. The flush hits and I could also see him having Ax A7, A6, A2, here. I think Ax here is possible. I was about to just check back. Then remembered something I heard earlier about basing it off his range, and at this point, I think he had plently less he could call with because of how light he was willing to pay off. I don't think sets are there because I feel like this game I was being pretty passive because of his calling station-ness and so when I show agression here on 2 streets I don't think he can expect me to bluff the river by checking to me and praying I make another bet. So I determined I had him beat the majority of the time and bet.

Was this the right move? And do you see any flaws in my reasoning where I'm looking at it in the wrong way?

As played definitely valuebetting the river. I think pre is fairly significant mistake though.

unless you believe he is going to jam over limps particularly weak, raising (shoving or raising) pre is preferable.

checking back flop is OK if you think he's going to check it down with you a lot I guess.

Have to bet bigger on the turn, IMO. 150ish. there's a lot he can call you with and most of it is going to call 150 if it calls 100.

value betting the river is standard, i'd probably bet a little bit bigger tho you'll almost definitely get called by Tx, probably 7x and maybe even 6x as well since he's a CS and I get the impression that 150 will send the weak signal enough to get check-jammed on.
