I don't play HU but why so big pre? I thought min or 2.5x BTN open was standard in HU?

As played I like your line the whole way including the fold. But as I say HU is not my game so will people bluff a lot more liberally? Your line does not suggest 8x or good pair for big FH so I suppose he could be drawn into one but he could equally be value betting any PP or 8x or Qx.

He certainly won a lot from that $12 pot! Superuser.

Thanks Paul!

I don't open, he limps his button and I pump it up OOP. And yeah, people spazz more often HU than 6-handed Smile

Looks reasonable overall. Turn size can even potentially be smaller since it is primarily a protection bet. Statistically we often have the best hand with a pair. River is a x/f as played. Looks ok.
