    Default 50NL HU

    I haven't played much HU. So just generally looking for some pointers.

    Hand 1
    This villain had been three betting me a lot preflop and calling by 3-bets about 40-50%. This is his first 4-bet.
    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (2 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    Hero ($168.05)
    Button ($50.75)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with Q, A.
    Button raises to $2, Hero raises to $6, Button raises to $16, Hero?

    Hand 2
    Same villain. Called the 3-bet as I was getting a little sick - not the right thing to do I know. Turn push ok?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (2 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    Hero ($81.60)
    BB ($102.90)

    Preflop: Hero is Button with T, K.
    Hero raises to $2, BB raises to $8, Hero calls $6.

    Flop: ($16) 9, 5, Q (2 players)
    BB bets $10.5, Hero calls $10.50.

    Turn: ($37) K (2 players)
    BB bets $12, Hero raises to $32 and calls a push?

    i wanna here what ISF and the DC jew crew think about hand 1

    I'm saying fold, but in a match where you there has not been any 4betting I think it could be a shove

    I have to say both of these are really tough spots, and I really don't know what to do. I'll do my best though.

    Hand 1: How many hands have you played in this match? Is it only like 10 minutes in? If it's 10 minutes in or less i shove. If it has been awhile and he just doesn't seem to like fourbetting light than fold.

    Hand 2: I just call the turn, there aren't many bad river cards so lets not turn our hand into a bluff

    usually double posts are like 5 seconds apart, not 50 minutes.
    eeevees are not monies yet...they are like baby monies.

    yea, weird, dunno what the heck happened there, but thanks for the extra post FTR!!

    Another note, the more I look at hand 1 the more I wanna ship it in, in a match without 4betting dynamics it's hard for him to have a big hand here. Ofc it's 50nl HU so he's probably doesnt realize if he should not be only and always 4betting QQ+/AK.

    ISF's point about early in the match and shoving is cool. I think if this is the 1st ever 4bet we've seen it's weighted more towards bluffs than big hands.

    I mean if its been a half hour and the guy hasnt fourbet once i assume he's just not fourbetting light and i fold.

    Bump. 40-50mins for the first hand, serious no 4-bets..but a LOT of 3-betting my BU raises. I had been calling a fair amount of his 3-bets,say 20-30%.
