Really?
Is that a joke?
he has 99/tt or u have best hand when he bets river, i dont give a random credit for being able to value bet 7x here, his only heart draws would be combo with straight draws and is most likely betting turn when you check. id expect him to c back a lot of the time here with a weakish hand that is better than yours but if he bets i think you are good quite alot of the time. i dont like you betting because your perceived value range here is only AQ & KQ so you will get looked up v lightly.
I'd fire out potsize bet here, you could easily have played 7s or AQ here
the fact the opponent hasnt bet at all suggests that he hasnt hit unless on the river, pot size or 3/4 pot and expect him to fold like a mo fo
unless hes hit the river with kq, aq himself then he's only calling so take a punt
We don't bet with A high (for value) because we're only getting called with hands that we beat, so we're losing money in the long run.
Still waiting to see one of these hero calls - that wud even be a super hero call!!
Don't u want my 50p??
I canny believe u check call with Ace ten high (again, he's bluffing with better hands) - and u c/c OR bet call with the deuces in my thread, yet ur in 2 minds with QQ on a 5 high flop at nl8!
Are u seeeereeee-****??
£18+.
il try and find some hero calls later DOHHH cant atm because anti virus stuff is running.
To respond in a way that keeps this on-topic, this isn't exactly a hero call, since we're playing heads-up. I'll assume that you didn't realise that before you posted, because anyone else will understand that both players in a HU game get to the river with no pair a fair amount of the time - so calling with AT high here isn't much of a hero call. And, he may be bluffing with better, but the amount of hands that he bluffs with that we beat is much greater than the amount of hands that he bluffs with which beat us.
IMO.
What do you think he has that justifys a call on the river?
Im sure he wont mind.
2 things.,....
It might be a heads up pot, but its a 6 max table, so you aren't inclined to play every hand. Therefore it's more likely the villain has a strong holding(pair)
Secondly, people seem absolutely obsessed by opponents....I mean, I know the old saying is u shud "play the player" - but it's a card game at the end of the day, ur opponent is there to make it hard for u, just ignore him
If ur constantly reacting to what ur opponent does, and ur opponent knows this, it's gonna be so easy for him to walk all over u. (your QQ hand)
Another saying "find a better spot" - I know for sure there are better spots to win/burn money than check calling the river here.
I would also argue that, when you're playing HU, you "play the player" a lot more than you play your own cards. If you're not "obssessed" with your opponent's tendancies in a HU game, then you shouldn't be playing in one (I know that you're not the one playing in a HU game, so that comment isn't being directed at you).
And yes, it is a card game, but if you don't pay attention to the way your opponents play then you will lose a lot of money in the long run. I know that's not strictly true on most levels on Sky, as playing ABC should be able to make you a profit on most levels here, but there is a necessity to study your opponents closely on any level.
