6 hands vs Gabe

Played a short and friendly 4-tabling HU session against Gabe so that we could get some fun hands to post. Gabe was playing 66/60 sicko with 39% 3bet and only 26% fold vs 3bet. I took a slightly defensive approach and played 60/52 with 16% 3bet and 57% fold vs 3bet.

Hand 1: 4-bet pot, I flop the nuts, Gabe leads three streets on ugly board. I felt like he is going to shove any flush for value but not AQ/AJ. No idea about his bluffing frequency but I didn't think he would just blindly lead all three with complete air here. Any reason why I should raise at any point? Easy river fold?
================================================== ===

Gabe ($139)
Hero ($78.25)

Dealt to Hero A K
Hero raises to $1.25, Gabe raises to $4, Hero raises to $11, Gabe calls $7

FLOP ($22) A A 5
Gabe bets $12, Hero calls $12

TURN ($46) A A 5 6
Gabe bets $16, Hero calls $16

RIVER ($78) A A 5 6 2
Gabe bets $78, Hero hates life with $39.25 behind...



Hand 2: Gabe leads three streets. Didn't see any compelling reason to raise flop or turn. River looks like a raise but stacks are awkward. Those in favor of raise please indicate willingness to call a shove. Or maybe we just overbet jam here?

Thanks Gabe, GG

cool hands. Hand 1 I've just shove turn usually but against gabe i'd call call any non-spade river so now fold


hand 2 - raise or shove.


hand 3 - I guess i'd shove? Strange spot b/calling seems dirty as does just c/calling since i don't see many random bluffs that bet.

hand 4 - b/fold seems good here.

hand 5 - weird hand, i'd just nit/call.

hand 1
-I don't mind raising flop. I don't think this is a board where ppl are going to go crazy bluffing, cause your calling range has a lot of strong hands that won't fold to barrels

Hand 2
-I would raise river, he has lots of Ax and worse two pairs

Hand 3
-I don't know about a river check here. Most of his range is some pair, and will check back. What is the value in checking? He might not b/c a c/r with Jx, so might as well bet

Hand 4
-your line doesn't seem to bluffy, not sure he expects you to fold here, I'd fold

Hand 5
-I'd expect two pair+ to bet turn often, so I'd 3bet this river. Being on the button he has a lot of worse 4x hands

Hand 6
-good, hard to misplay it. Think any line you take here can't be too bad. Jamming turn sometimes or waiting to river.

1. id play same and fold riv
2. raise to 36, dont expect to get jammed on almost ever
3-4. i like
5. i make 46
6. not 3b flop is fps when ur only 100bb deep

Oh-yeah you were playing batshit hyperaggro. I have to say that this was the most adrenaline-laden HU session ever.

I think I've never played 4 tables HU before and I never play HU anyway. I missed some very easy value bets/raises on a few occasions because I just didn't have time to put us both on ranges.

Damn I came so close to calling you in hand 1 with AK! I folded because I didn't want to see the three of spades and shipping all the momentum to you. I wasn't even considering a call in hand 4 so I really like your bluff vs me there. The fact that you turned A high into a bluff is a very nice play. Nobody usually gives me enough credit to do something like that.
