Just wondering what you would put me on here and then, if u were playing me and whether you would call?

Without any kind of read i'd say i'm folding on that flop. But since you posted it, i'm guessin he called and you showed KQ.

Man, I don't know. I'd have to play with you a bit and see how often you were raising like that. Absent that information, I'd assume that whatever you had was ahead of my eights, and fold quickly. High pocket pair, tens, aces, could be anything. The range of hands in heads up is huge so really you could have anything at all. I just know that you're repping something better than pair of eights, jack kicker. Unless I had a read on you as a player, I'd probably take your word for it.

Preflop I put you on
Ax
K5+
Q7+
Assorted pocket pairs
I probably think you have a med pocket pair, you raised way too big.

Flop
I woulda reraised for information or folded. its a waste of chips to call, it looks liek a continaution bet to me.

Turn
Wat the fuck. Im positive you dont have an Ace. You might have 99 or TT or 88. I spite call becuase I played the hand horribly.

He played the hand really badly in my opinion. His preflop call made the pot way to big to maneuver in and with a hand like J8 he needs to be able to have some betting or raising room after the flop comes.

Without having a read on you I would read your for having an Ace with a weak kicker (since most ppl raise with any ace prf).

And btw, I dont think you would dare to rep those aces without having at least one yourself, when he coldcalled your flop bet - I might be wrong though

I don't know why he called on the flop, but if the thought he was ahead then the A isn't going to scare him, so I don't think you fire another shell. Plus someone with an A is probably making a more callable bet or even checking there.

Is 6x your standard raise? Why? Seems like maybe he put you on garbage because of the abnormal raise.

I'm sure you don't have aces either, with 3 aces you would probably have acted weaker to convince him to be the aggressor unless you had some read on his play style which says he would react otherwise.

I think you had a pocket pair.

yeah i also think u had a PP probably 77 or 99, either way im not calling your flop raise im either raising it or folding, calling sort of leaves me "on a limbo"

10xBB preflop when your stack is only 70BB? Or do you mean you would play it like that after the flop?

i know i wouldn't put you on an Ace

This is tough no one bets aces like that....... I am saying a mid pocket pair maybe lower than the board 99,77,66-55.
Maybe you are protecting the ten who knows.
