He allready has a made hand. excluding the straight and flush possibilities, you really only have 6 cards that can help you. do you really want to put your whole tournament on an A9. however i dont think your play was as bad as his. unless he picked up a physical tell on you or had a gut feeling you were going to raise, that was a pretty bad move to just call in that position with tens. after your raise however, he made a good play. |
At first I thought Joey was off his rocker, but after thinking about it for a bit, I'm actually beginning to agree with him on this one. I seem to remember something in HOH along the lines of... with your raise of $3000, you are basically committing yourself to the pot (1/4 your stack pre-flop) - you would be better off to push if you like your hand that much. Also according to HOH, your call of his re-raise should only be done with a VERY strong hand. I'm not sure A9s qualifies, but if you put him on a small pair, you were already a dog (albeit a very small one).
Also, I'm only referring to what I recall from HOH1, and he really doesn't talk about heads-up play until HOH2 (which I don't have).
