This is my 3rd hand heads up, I folded in sb the first hand, then folded next one on a bad flop, both with horrible hands. I don't think I can fold this one. If I do I have to play next hand no matter what, with no folding equity at all. Now I think I still have some folding equity and if he calls with overcards I'm not that much of an underdog. What do you think?

[AHiltz]

In this situation you are in shit, plain and simple. You either have to push this hand or the next with those blinds. I personally would take my chances on the next two cards. These are suited, but a 3 and a 2 aren't what I'd want to go to war with.

I don't think he folds either on this hand or the next with his stack. So I don't think you have any folding equity on either hand.

i push any two cards

[Andy Holt]

I like low suited connectors as opposed to broadway cards for fear of being called by a dominated hand.

[biondino]

I like broadway cards as the guy is going to call you with anything anyway, down to and including 23s.

[gabe]

no time to wait...there are 1k chips in the pot and you only have 1900 after posting. gotta push any cards.

[arkana]

I think you have to push, show us the previous two hands so we can see if you should have pushed earlier. 32 is about the worst hand you can get HU but the pot odds you are getting are just too good.

Don't have hh of that here but it was like this.
First hand I had 72o, folded in SB.
Second hand I had K2o, he min-raised, I called, flop was 789 no suits, he bet and I folded. Maybe I should have pushed this hand instead.

With that stack and blinds any king is real good to push.

[gabe]

i wouldnt push k2o into a raise.

[Scuba Chuck]

Second hand I had K2o, he min-raised, I called

Found a leak. Don't call here.

don't fold in the small blind heads up. you're always getting the odds to call. it was 300 to call with 900 in the middle. any two cards are good there.

not with his stack compared to his opponent. he is basically into push/fold, and fold seems like the right play with those cards against a massive chip leader who can call with any 2 a couple of times to try and knock you out.

Whoopsies I read these things too fast.

Just fold to the minraise, save your chips to push a hand later.
