    Default ($23 husng) 33 faces AI

    I know the HU forum is normally packed with higher stakes so if this should be somewhere else please feel free to move it.

    I raised every button since the beginning of this match. Villain figured that out and started to 3bet me a little bit. I've seen villain bluff turn and river (almost psb) once but the match lasted only 10 hands. This was also the 3rd time villain shoved over my button raise.

    I felt this shove could have been decently light given how aggressive I was. I figured a range of: QQ-22,A5s+,KTs+,QTs+,A8o+,KTo+,QJo...I removed AA, KK from villains range because I felt like they would have tried to trap me and extract more value with those hands.

    The value on this is super thin...I need to be a 42.6% fav to win the hand cEV wise...I ran ICM and think I need to be 50% to make this call but couldn't figure out the number exactly.

    Edit: I think I just realized that dealing with husng; cEV=ICM.
    ICM
    Hero Action:
    Fold: 1830, 1830/3000= .61 (.61*44=26.84)
    Call and win: 44
    Call and lose: 960/3000= .32 (.32*44=14.08)
    equation: (26.84-14.08)/(44-14.08) = 42.6%

    cEV
    1170/870=1.344
    1/(1+1.344)
    =42.6%


    Hand 0: 44.776% { 33 }
    Hand 1: 55.224% { QQ-22, A5s+, KTs+, QTs+, A8o+, KTo+, QJo }

    Turn: (t2040) 4 (2 players, 1 all-in)

    River: (t2040) 2 (2 players, 1 all-in)

    Total pot: t2040

    Results below:
    Hero had 3, 3 (one pair, threes).
    BB had A, 6 (high card, Ace).
    Outcome: Hero won t2040


    I felt when I was making the decision to call or not I was heavily weighing the fact that I could probably grind this player down vs taking this thin gamble. Villain was allowing me to take pots away post flop decently easy. Is this something I should be considering when dealing with HU? I'm new to these so am learning some of the basics.
