    Default A few hands from a HU match 2

    This time, I'm facing famed Zugwat. Relevant reads for all hands is he is very very nitty. He folds to 3bets about 77% of the time, which came down to 68% by the end. I suppose he was using his playing a fish strategy, because he was checking behind tons of air, and folding to a turn lead, while using a semi polarized flop cbetting range, seemingly never calling or raising without a hand or at least a gut shot. He fourbet occasionally with some sort of range, although i never saw what. He was folding to my 4bets a lot. He did show some propensity to make some sort of hero call. As you can see...

    Seat 1: Zugwat (big blind) mucked [Ks 3s] - two pair, Queens and Sixes
    Seat 2: Mirttinur (small blind) showed [9s 9d] and won ($10,699.50) with two pair, Queens and Nines

    Anyways here are all the hands, gogogogogo

    Hand 1:

    Hand 2: Note in this hand I was just involved in a very big pot, I did not think he would think i a bajillion years id be bluffing the river: I was two barrelling in 3bet pots sparingly, c/f'ed the river everytime if I did. I showed a propensity to thin vbet so I was just hoping he'd call with a turned Ace.

    trying to live
    1- i think you should bet the turn small. 2700-3200ish
    2 "I was two barrelling in 3bet pots sparingly, c/f'ed the river everytime if I did. " that seems like a good reason to check call this river
    3 i dont think he can get to the river with enough non heart hands, and he probably just has the nuts alot
    4 maybe
    5 if you think he can have any pair <A i would definitely bet

    Lighting sweet moneys on fire.
    Sweeet!

    1. Seems like a good balanced play but could be too thin in a vacuum?

    2. Ugly. Nice fold imo.

    3. Red aces? Don't think he gets to the river like this without a heart very
    often.

    4. Bzoink.

    5. I would check.
