Its FT.
I`m ill and was playing in euro hours, so villain is my countrymate and legit small-stakes crusher I`ve never seen b4. [decent-ish 60% roi at $11 abi]

Was the most active at 2ft 4handed, I haven`t seen much of him as OR postflop tho.
He fought for pots [floats, some donks, some c/r-s], but not someone who just blindly barrels.

Its 1st time he raises bvb and it has been folded to me at bb at least once.
he steals 75% generally.

I was pretty snug at 2ft for 6(4 eff) max. Total stats - 30/26/11.
Lost 20bb flip once showing AKs. 3b/5b-shoved BB-BTN few hands ago w/o sd.
Was smallballing mostly.

#2 And a bit of fun.

Villain is naturally a fish.
Way too tight pre for hu game. FPSy lines post-flop.
But not much action really to say more specific.
I was winning 75% of pots pre.

Snap call #2, dudes frustrated that he's getting owned and has Ax. Don't see him shoving overpairs; think you're only bad if you're outkicked by another 10.

Folding #1. You don't have a lot of aces in your range because you might re-raise pre a fair amount of the time, so he may be trying to exploit but I think you need to fold river if for no other reason, because of ICM (which cuts both ways of course because he could be putting added pressure on you). Your diamond is a blocker to some of his flush draws.

Calling #2.

im calling 1 becus of icm. well that and your telling us hes aware and intelligent, vs good players on payjumps im normally widening my calling ranges since they will be the ones to exploit these spots

2 is i think more interesting than it normally would be since he seems to be gladly losing a war of attrition. i mean hes letting you win 3/4 pots so we should be a lot tighter in our gii ranges but i still think youre a decent favorite(60% maybe) here so call it

#1: Fold...
Flop 1/2, Turn 1/2, River 2/3
Looks strong and dont See many Bluffs in his range...

#2:
Dont Know the History but calling a 3 bet with T2o Cant be +ev against nearly every Player (in headsup too ...

After hitting Top pair ...call

absurd statement when you're getting 5.25 to 1 and position against a HU range of hands.

#1: would call 100% if the plan was not to fold river improving on turn and flush blanks out on river??
#2: wp call, cant fold T2 for tp with backflushhu with pre action

edit typo: #1: would call 100% if the plan was not to fold river after improving on turn and flush blanks out??

#1 that little adjustment on the bet sizing on the river looks kind of strong and value'ish, yet he could be doing that with KQ/J as well so prolly a sigh call

#2 like the dumbest call in the history of poker, when 'winning 75% of pots pre' and he for no reason min raise 3bets to jam flop. Too often overpair or binked top pair

^

First hand I want to call, second hand I will fold since it's likely we are flipping against his shovel range and since we have edge on the guy I would avoid doing so for 2,5x the pot.

hand 1: the sizing makes me a bit reluctant but I think you have to call.

hand 2: seems like a pretty easy fold, you're owning this guy, no reason to take this close-ish spot when he shoves 2.5x pot on flop.

Hand 1: I think you do have a good amount of aces in this spot, so it's a fold.

Hand 2: Have to call here.

h1: sizing tell? seems indeed on the value-side so probs fold
h2: flipping vs AQ clubs....

I'm not sure whether to be frightened or happy that so many people say call in hand 2.

start with openfolding t2o 20bb deep

I really don`t think so considering villain description.

20 blinds deep I don't think we can get away from top pair given Vs tiltish state. Can we really count on continuing to win 3/4 hands? Just mildly cooler cards and we are in trouble.

this.

Yellomarty:
Call hand 2 is unexploitable, fold is exploitable. It is no use for professional(doesn't make us happy) if villain calls both pre and flop with the hand in described setting, it might lower THEIR expectation when they get HU vs. bad players but there is no money to be gained vs. them in that spot.

#1. What do you think about 3bet a V that steals so much?
It´s a tough spot but I think i´m calling,just because we prob 3 bet an Ax,once we improve ott and flush blanks.
#2. With our stack i´m folding pre.
As played,even if we hit TP i will fold,can´t see how can we be favorite here?
