New to HU. Villain is Asian. It's our third or fourth hand and I haven't shown down anything but all I can tell is he might be a little aggro.

I'd put him on a monster (flopped straight, 2pair/set turning into fullhouse), very seldom 3

or 2

, if he is a typical somewhat aggressive 10 20 player a 8 with mostly worse kicker is also possible. Because this is only he fourth hand he might also be overaggressive with a flush draw. Time to call down and find out.

I usually don't know whether an opponent is worth playing after third or fourth hand.

It was TuanLam or something who I incidentally saw playing 50-100 3handed, he definitely seemed terrible but what do I know.

Anyways, I flatcalled, the river was a K, we go 4 bets, he rolls J8o, I question my line.

btw he took 2nd in the wsop me last year. and he is very capable of 3betting the turn with just a flush draw and generally plays super aggro and 100% you either need to cap now or c/r the river. I've seen him playing 500/1000 a little saner so I think he's splashing around a bit at 10/20. against 99% of villains this is at least a good 8 so prob call down.

Wait, didn't an Asian guy win the ME too? So it was HU azn vs. azn? How many hands did it last, one?

Or two?
