    Default $50nl HU- we have a lot of history in a short time

    Villain Sh@i'tan on Pokerstars if anyone plays these games. We both have been really active OTB but calling OOP has been to a minimum. I'm new to the Stars game and was just looking for some action.

    I've already snapped off two of his bluffs ($11 into $15 each time) with middlish pair type hands in 3bet pots where he cbet, turn went c/c and he fired the river, air both times (not thin-valuebets). I also floated him in a 3bet pot with air, he c/r'ed AI on the turn, I folded my King high and he turned up Queen high (no pair, no draw), obv...

    Here are my notes on villain:

    c/r shove turn with absolute air in 3bet pot
    The second of those 2 hands just happened right before this one.

    He's got to be a reg because:
    A. He 3bets
    B. He has auto-reloads
    -BUT-
    C. Being a reg does not mean he is any good at poker, just probably aggro enough to beat these games.

    Onto the hand in question, he's definitely tilting

    HH's messing up
    Villain $50
    Hero covers

    Here is BTN with
    Hero raises to $1.50, BB raises to $5(normal 3bet size), Hero calls

    Flop ($10)
    BB bets $6 (normal cbet in 3bet pot) Hero calls

    Turn ($22)
    BB bets $14 (had never 2barrelled in 3bet pots), Hero calls

    River ($50)
    BB bets $25 and is all-in, Hero calls

    Final Pot: $100

    His note on you:

    "Calling station".

    I think I like this, but I'm not surprised if we're beaten.
    Just dipping my toes back in.

    I might do the same thing. I might not. You'll have to find out during the HU tourney.

    I know but couldn't resist. Back to the topic.

    Yeah, my bad. I think this is standard. Especially if you think his range includes air like two overcards. If he just bluffed you out of a pot w/ nothing, he may be trying to get tricky. I like how you shoved it in his face.

    This is a really tough spot. Turn is very close and river is very close. I must say I'm very tempted to just fold the turn, i am very surprised villain isnt going with the c/r all in on the turn with an overpair, which is why i think your line is fine. Also I suspect he checks the river with an overpair a fair amount too.
    The sucky part is he can easily show up with a 7, and im betting that's what he had. Still, we can't fold i dont think, but as i said turn and river are really close.

    I know I know, had i not just picked off a bluff the hand before and thought he was tilting I wouldn't have done it, that might be backwards reasoning though.

    He had air obv.
