T9o 50nl HU

Posted 8 years ago

Opponent is unknown. I can't profitably call on the river IMO so it's either raise or fold. I felt I repped really strong here polarised to a straight or air. So I should fold out everything other than straights and I have a T blocker. However against an unknown and at 50nl, are players good enough to fold here a high enough portion of the time to make this profitable?

I don't think your raise is folding out everything but straight, the flush draw missed so I can see some regs calling you down with AJ, I don't play HU but the river looks like a fold, don't mind shoving if the river was a heart although we have no blockers.

Not sure about you but I would raise my str8s on the turn here OOP. So to me your percieved range is like 0 str8s and not sure what you can rep when raising on that 2 since 2p/sets will raise flop and we dont raise hands like J2 on the river. Your range looks really like a lot of hands like the one you have 1p+some draw, Jx, FD's when you call the turn.

Not keen on this. When the flush draw misses, and only QT gets there but would usually raise the turn, it smacks of desparation. It's made worse by not having any reads on villain to outweigh this as well.

I think at 50NL, players who are starting to hand read efficiently tend more towards hero calling if no nutted hands make sense in this kind of spot. I doubt you're getting enough folds against the part of his range which bets three streets.
