Definitely a fold... in future I'd probably check the turn as he is really only calling there with a hand that beats yours so there is no real point in putting in a bet.

JohnnieH

How can he type when he's all in?

EDIT: Is it because it's a HU table?

Definitely the right fold. He had the K, the 4 or J and you were splitting. My only suggestion is that if you find his chat annoying, right click on his avatar and left click Block Chat on the menu that pops up. Just makes life easier with guys like that but makes you still able to talk with others at the table (yes, I know it's HU, I mean for future games with future yappers).

Range

check the river & fold to his shove.

Quinner

I find it kind of funny that this is a question I even bothered to post on here. My style is so different now. I wouldn't even be playing J2s :P. And as played, pretty obvious fold hahaha.

how about what is a good heads up strategy? I was going to do a new thread about this but might as well use this.


So anyone?

Constantly adjust based on your opponent.

righto!

did so today when i called with q9, and he could not figure out why i did call even after i told him i was barely losing to his k4,lol

Was just wondering if there was any kind of specific strategy.

Graham

Do it right back at them and see what they do. Also at the beginning stages of a hu sng, who cares about the blinds. See a lot of flops and study how your opponent plays. Once the blinds start to increase then use the knowledge you have learned against them. 90% of the time they are going to have a weak hand, so if you pick up a good hand raise them. Really though it depends how they continue to play the hand post flop also. Also, do they put in bigger raises when they have stronger hands, things like that.
