| Re: I would like an opinion on this heads up play... i don't dispute having a read. but, um...i guess i fold.
second pair and no kicker beats very few possible hands he could have here. i'd have been a sucker, but suspected he had KX here and laid it down.
btw, raising to 800 isn't enough. blinds 200/400, raising to 800 gives the BB 3:1 odds, which means that he should be calling with just about anything. i know lots of guys like to move to a minraise mode when the blinds get big, but...i think it's a chance to get burned way too often with hands that you don't really want to see a flop with (like Q3s, for instance).
while we're talking about harrington, he recommends limping with just about anything headsup, but you won't see him (or any other poker lit) recommending a minraise. |
