    Default back into HU 2/4

    Early in match, villain seems kind of tight. This is my 2nd 3bet, first he has called. I haven't been to aggressive and he always minraises preflop. He ended up playing 45/40 but it felt a lot more passive.

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

    Button ($473.50)
    Hero ($426)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with 8, 9.
    Button raises to $8, Hero raises to $28, Button calls $20.

    Flop: ($58) 6, T, 8 (2 players)
    Hero bets $36, Button raises to $101

    i think you have to shove it in here. YOu have too much equity when you're facing an overpair and otherwise his raise on the flop doesn't make much sense (I doubt he does it with a bare T).

    I guess he could have two pair here sometimes too.

    I wouldn't make a puss bet like this and not shove it in.

    c/c is a good alternative and ofc betting more. I think all options are reasonable, your just more likely to get it in versus a horrible range when you bet.

    Without any experience in this HU area, my 2c.

    at first i think its a fold but just stoving vs JJ+ we do have 32% equity which is interesting. given opp raised smallish over our smallish bet then we can sssume he is weakish and we have FE over him.

    his range is very wide on this board tho and he can easily be just drawing whcih we are ahead of.

    am i right/wrong
    Jman: every time the action is to you, it's an opportunity for you to make the perfect play.

    check/call seems correct if it can manipulate his range into one which includes significantly more bluffs and less med-large tp type hands
