So villain is a sort bad reg running 20/16 with 1.9 AF over 200 hands.
Here we were playing hu and that is included in the 20/16 so his actual 6max stats may be like 17/14 or something.

Hu game had gone this way: he stacked me aa vs ak. I then got a bi back in a 3bet pot on A662 or something where I had aq he had aj. Then the hand posted below in spoiler.

These spots are always pretty confusing to me tbh so call river or not?



Microgaming - €0.20 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 2 players

BB: €21.76

Hero posts SB €0.10, BB posts BB €0.20

Pre Flop: (€0.30) Hero has 9 9

Hero raises to €0.60, BB raises to €2.00, Hero calls €1.40

Flop: (€4.00, 2 players) 8 5 J
BB bets €2.20, Hero calls €2.20

Turn: (€8.40, 2 players) 8
BB checks, Hero checks

River: (€8.40, 2 players) J
BB bets €5.60, Hero...

given history its a call, J river is good for us as it reduces his Jx combos

im a 4bet pre get it in here if hes calling 4bets with KJ here

I'm glad this hand sparked so many responses and interesting debate.

Bump.

Ok.

Why ATo is a 4bet and 99 is a call vs a guy who looks tight ?

+1 to PeoplesElbow reply.

Dynamic and game flow.

Well 99 is obviously not a fold, closer to a 4b/c.

The A10 4bet was a bluff because I don't think my hand will play that well even against a wide 3betting range. Also as I say the guy was appearing a pretty bad reg I don't think he will adapt quickly by 3b/5b a wide value range and will instead 3b/f some hands he should 3b/5b (aq etc). That said I also didn't expect him to start flatting kjo oop.

call 99 as played
