5/10 HU Bigmich

READ PROLOGUE PLEASE

Bigmich is a generally bad HU player. He calls threebets a lot and is way too passive postflop. Raises a lot of air flops in single raised pots. Doesn't raise a cbet in a threebet pot very much. I don't normally take thorough notes but one note i wrote down is "insta bets are bluffs." River was an insta bet but again he's not very bluffy.

First question.

Good versus him even though he calls a lot of threebets? (like 60% of the time)

I would bet turn usualy in this spot. As played its close.

id say shove is better than call

surely if you're going to bet this flop then you gotta have some bigger plan in action?

I mean he never folds a pair on the flop therefore to bet here we either have to believe he will float with a large enough unpaired range and allow us to play profitably against that part of his range.

I guess if he's calling 60% of 3bets then he is definitely floating this flop a high % of the time planning to bluff the turn when you check. So you need to either barrel the turn or c/c the turn or not bet the flop.

Actually wtf am I talking about, from the description he's not on the level to make a delayed bluff. So c/f the river. I'd definitely think about c/cing the turn though because he has to be planning to bluff that and his range is way polarized if he bets. But overall I feel betting the turn is the best line.

lol rambles.

He does, not a lot though. Hence the note, "Instabets are bluffs," meaning ive seen him bluff multiple times.

preflop is bad, flop is good, river is kinda close but id fold

I think raising preflop is just as good as calling vs this guy. Flop bet good, but river looks like fold to me.

I would say that if you are planning to call a river bet, then you are probably better off leading the turn instead.
