Played two HU SNG's tonight after watching Manny Ramirez absolutely smoke the ball over da green monsta!
First one was a micro $2 game and I was dominated from start to finish. Played poorly and deserved to lose.
So I played a low limit $5 game. Playing a little better but my opponent is the aggressor and is taking the lead in the match. The game is going back and forth until we reach this hand.
A little history, PhtDady02 had just raised the last 3 hands and I folded to all of them. Out of those 3, I liked my T/9s but decided to let it go. Well I limped in again and I wanted to see a flop. PhtDady02 raised it up to 90 so I called. Here's how it played out.

Now I know alot of hands have me beat but he has yet show a hand that was worthy of a raise. This is also a low limit HU SNG, so I'm thinking he could have any two cards. He's also called some raises with very weak hands.
I probably would have folded this hand before but after my HU match with TMJ2k, I'm now thinking that my Jacks could be good. On the flop I had a few outs (K or an 8 ), though if I was going to hit a straight I would have wanted the 8 as the K could give him a higher straight.
So would you have called any of this (preflop,flop, turn, river)? Does he have me? Higher Pair, Straight, or is he just full of sh*t?
Red Sox fans, it's still early but we can at least enjoy this victory and the Yankee loss!
All Hail Manny being Manny! WB!!!
