Good evening, just like to hear peoples thoughts on the final hand of the last man standing match I just played vs Nutter5932. winner got Vegas package runner up got 400 pounds, all for free entry how good is that? my personal thoughts here were we had been playing for an hour and there is no way i am going to outplay Nutter as he is a far superior H/up player so I think ive got to take a chance at a flip when the opportunity comes up so im happy with how I played it. I just wondered how others view it or what they would have done in same position. Thanks to sky for the opportunity of nearly getting a free trip to vegas and good luck to Ben hope you get the lot bud.

Pre flop is a call at best, and the hand is certainly never a flip, is a6 in the top 50% of hands
Not even sure its a raise from the small blind given the stack depth.
Thats all i have and its probably all wrong i don't play HU
As played I don't mind your check raise all-in, vs KK you're not far off 50/50 & you're always gona have a decentish % to win, if we are called at all.
If you feel your opponent has an edge on you I think it's even more fine to get it in.
Unlucky.
But still not calling the 3 bet pre.
If you feel opponent has a big edge then you are playing it correct in terms of trying to play big pots as Ben will want to play small pots.
"....my personal thoughts here were we had been playing for an hour and there is no way i am going to outplay Nutter as he is a far superior H/up player so I think ive got to take a chance at a flip when the opportunity comes up so im happy with how I played it...."
I think you read the situation perfectly, & did exactly the right thing. Bit unlucky to run into a hand like that, but you were still flipping post-flop.
Shame either of you had to lose, would have been great to see you both in Vegas, but very pleased for Ben who is a good lad & been here a very long time.
It's not just a call at best we have to be way more expansive than that. sometimes this spot will be a slam dunk 3 bet or a slam dunk call - dependent on how the opponent is playing.
As for the flop I think I would prefer a 3 bet (even if you plan to call it off) - when you jam you are basically telling him what you have. Your not jamming any sets, you are three betting 2 pairs etc etc - 3b looks way stronger and any good hu reg would pick you off there.
Unlucky on the package but played great to get to the final
From your point of view i don't mind the general thought process of trying to get me to flip for it because i did not want to flip for it even in the last hand as i wanted to play smaller pots and grind out a bigger advantage with my experience playing heads up. It takes a non egotistical person to admit someones better than them at certain things so you planned to play in a way which benefited you which i admire and will see you do well in the future because ego has bust much better players than my self.
Pre flop though i think your hand is a fold once i four bet because i think i four bet once before this hand and you might have folded pre so i was not doing it enough for you to call with that particular hand. I was however 3 betting a quite significant amount and you was peeling pretty wide especially with suited hands. A6cc is not ahead of much on many flops to a 4 bet and could easily be crushed by lets say ak/aq maybe aj and ofc pairs > 66 so yes i guess a nut flush draw is the best you can hope for if you wanted to flip for it if your jam gets called.
on a side note i was also watching you play in the freeroll at the same time as we was playing but i would not recommend playing 2 different forms of poker at the same time even if you was probably focusing more on the heads up match it probably does affect certain decisions flicking from 6 max ranges to heads up ranges every 15 seconds unless your very experienced playing both [which you may be]. Happy to answer anything regarding the match though.
Also agree about playing the rewards free roll at the same time I'd just auto registered earlier forgetting it would clash, I was basically taking no notice of it and just clicking buttons and concentrating on our game, funny thing is after our game I got runner up in that as well 🤣.
Best of luck in Vegas mate I really hope you get the lot
