    Default HU SNG hand

    Adonis is pretty famous but overall he's just pretty nitty and will make big calls sometimes. What do you guys think? Note he tends to call flop c/r's and raise the turn with most of his nut hands and good draws but I'm not sure what he would do on this board. Also note I have been winning a ton of pots and given my history with him I think he would be inclined to actually think I wouldn't be bluffing that much.

    This is clearly terrible by me though right?

    i think this is too thin on every street really, just c/f flop against him

    i think if the board was two tone on the flop u can bet/jam profitably since he doesnt slowplay enough and even if he hero calls 40% of the time its still your best line

    but i think hes slowplaying more on this texture, but i mean this play can't really be too terrible on the river or flop, but still -ev, but i think ur turn bet might be very -ev

    So lets say he calls the flop with 4x and 5x because he pretty much cbets 100% unpolarized (should've added that). If this is the case, and he folds all his floats and 4x's and 5x's on the turn this can't be that bad can it? It seems like river is the worst street and flop is certainly bad although not terrible.

    I think you should have shut down when he called the bet on the turn.

    He has something and he isn't folding.

    My bankroll is the amount of money I would spend or lose before I got a job. It is calculated by adding my net worth to whatever I can borrow.

    Okay now lets say Adonis had AK in this hand and was planning to shove vs a river check, what do you think of his play?

    Well i doubt you ever have anything if you check but there's like no way he gets value. Seems like something you could exploit.

    Why are you committing your whole stack with a pair of 2s? Seems like bluffing the King on the end could be done with less than your entire stack and still seem believable.

    see the thing is, against sngclown#13 who cbets half pot 100% u are kind of playing into his hands if u CR bluff no equity and insist on following through because i think clowns are aware enough they cant really fold.

    if u cr a range of TP+ and draws they get killed, meh

    Results of hand: I didn't actually have 22, I switched me and Adonis up. Adonis did this to me with 22 and I thought it was bad and I was wondering if for some reason unbeknownst to me this was good. I figured flop was bad and river sucked but turn was fine.

    Given that you're slowplaying nut hands here a decent amount this seems even worse. Then again you're also capable of folding AK here

    True but then again there are a lot of hands I may call the flop and turn with that are folding to a river bet that will make up for that. But because of the thing you mentioned I always have an insanely hard time making a good bluff by c/r the flop and 3 barreling on this flop texture.
