    Default Interesting hand HU 3-bet pot

    This is the first time i've played with the villain, we've been playing about 20 hands HU. He seems ok and kinda tight. He called two barrels before oop in a dry pot with mid pair.

    Here is a very relevant hand i played with him 10 hands earlier. After the hand i realized i probably should've c/f the river.

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $4 BB (2 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    Hero ($454.50)
    Button ($344)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with T, T.
    Button raises to $12, Hero raises to $40, Button calls $28.

    Flop: ($80) 6, 5, J (2 players)
    Hero bets $60, Button calls $60.

    Turn: ($200) J (2 players)
    Hero checks, Button checks.

    River: ($200) 6 (2 players)
    Hero bets $108, Button raises to $244, Hero folds.

    Final Pot: $416

    Obviously, he had a J or a 6 here most of the time, J more often than not.

    Now the hand in question. I usually don't try to make thin call downs like this early. But i think that this previous hand shed light on some of his tendencies:

    1. He probably likes to slowplay hands when the pot is dry.
    2. He probably doesn't raise TP on a dry flop in a 3-bet pot.

    Obviously, these are probably's. Is this enough info to make this call down?

    I like your reasoning but i dont think its enough.
    When you call the flop opp can't possibly think you're going to fold later, however i still do call the flop but c/f turn and probably c/c river.

    This is not how you play HU. Don't make ridiculous call downs every other hand. This is a one in ten thousand hand.

    I kind of like this with what you've seen from him so far.
    You didnt have many hands on him yet but do you think that JJ, QQ, and AA are in his range? because it looks like they are possibilities here too.
