heads up

ok, seventy7ways makes many big overbets, mostly on the flop. I generally have been backing away from them. He does it on the river sometimes too. I have been playing fairly passively, its been working most of the time, he'll bet into me when I have a good hand and not know to back off. He never went to showdown with many hands, I legitamately think he had good hands a lot of the time, because he went through a pretty long stretch where he stopped his raising antics. anyway. And FYI, the last few hands although more people were there it was still very headsup like.

Hand 1: Bluff, I wonder if he even has a pair. But I don't know that I risk it with TPSK...

Hand 2: He's got a hand here. AJ, AK, KJ, KK, JJ. I would feel about 50/50 chance that you are beat here...

Hand 3: Nothing really wrong with your play here that I can see, Maybe a bigger re-raise on the turn w/ the straight draw, please tell me he didn't call down with a 2...

Hand 1: Fold.

Hand 2: I think raise the turn. If he has a bigger hand he will probably reraise or call. Then you can safely check behind on the river.

Hand 3: I play it the same except maybe make the turn 22 instead of 14. The river i might push if i think he'll make a loose call with a weaker hand like A8. He obviously wants a cheap showdown with that small river bet, but he definitely wants a show down. It's not a hand that beats your set, so if you think you can get a call it might be worth it. Against a random opponent though this is a nice value raise.

first hand fold, second hand call. third hand good play.

First hand I dunno. I don't think you can call though, too much doubt.

Second hand you're beat. Poorly played. You can't call that turn; raise it.

Third hand you're good.

i think on the first hand he is bluffing or has a boat with a queen also. He could have the 9 but i dont think so. You should probably just fold because you dont have much invested in the pot

I don't see why everyone says to fold the first hand. You would lose to him if he holds the case 9 or if he has QQ or JJ. He seems aggressive enough to raise the latter two. I probably pay him off here if I had more invested. I bet you split with him or he has a straight. If he knows you are passive he's looking for you to fold. But since you don't have more invested, folding is fine.
