    Default $11reg heads-up, deep stacks, interesting draw

    I've played 2 SNGs the over the past month and a half, I just finished one of them. Villain had been sitting out for the first few blind levels and had pretty decent luck at showdown after that. Seems semi-sold. I've been quite aggressive around the bubble and just busted the 10BB shortstack in 3rd when i pushed AJ into his BB and got him to call with QTo! Preflop flat call of his reraise is questionable. What would you do?

    Preflop, I tend to just dump it once he min re-raises. Difficult though because you're getting 5:1 on the call - but if he has Ax or a pocket pair you aren't getting the right price to see the flop.

    On the flop, I would call. Top pair + flush draw + gutshot is a very strong hand, even more so heads up. I would say he has a flush draw, Ax with no draw or a pocket pair - this sort of AI overbet on the flop is very often a draw thata doesn't want a call. The only hand you're really fearing is Ax with a better heart kicker but with this kind of draw I call every time.

    I kinda want to fold but I just don't think you can. This is also a really weird way to play AxBIGHEART.

    Code:
    Board: Ah 3h 4h
    Dead:  
    
    	equity 	win 	tie 	      pots won 	pots tied	
    Hand 0: 	58.485%  	56.15% 	02.34% 	          3891 	      162.00   { AcAs, KcKh, QcQh, 3c3s, Ac7c, KhQh, AcTh }
    Hand 1: 	41.515%  	39.18% 	02.34% 	          2715 	      162.00   { Ad2h }
