Early in a match. No reads.

Full Tilt Poker $11 + $0.50 Heads Up No Limit Hold'em Tournament - t15/t30 Blinds - 2 players

BTN/SB: t1590 53 BBs
Hero (BB): t1410 47 BBs

Pre Flop: (t45) Hero is BB with Q K
BTN/SB calls t15, Hero raises to t90, BTN/SB raises to t150, Hero calls t60

Flop: (t300) Q 7 8 (2 players)
Hero checks, BTN/SB bets t30, Hero raises to t210, BTN/SB calls t180

Turn: (t720) 3 (2 players)
Hero bets t330, BTN/SB raises to t660, Hero raises to t1050 all in, BTN/SB calls t390

River: (t2820) 6 (2 players - 1 is all in)

What do you expect to see from an unkown after the limp-raise?

I thought he might be an aggro-tard who just hand junk. On the flop I thought he might c-bet big and I was going to c/r. On the turn I thought he might have just a draw so I couldn't get away from the hand.

66+, sometimes AJ,AQ,AK. I dont mind flop sizeing but im still make it 170 i think.
And im pretty sure im bet/folding that turn vs min3bet, min3bet on the turn usually is better then TP on tehese stakes.

does anybody like calling the flop minbet? I think taking passive line ends up being better as villain thinks you are much weaker and could possibly bluff you with his air hands. Another good thing is that it keeps pot smaller when he has better hand than yours and you might not go to broke with this + you get better value out of 99-JJ also imo

In general this is a solid range to put your op on, especially readless.

But in my expirience limp/raise means a polarized hand. It's amazing how many times villains will do this with hands like K9 or even Q8. It's like they're angry couse you attacked they're limp Your actions depends on the reads obviusly, but I'm always avare of the fact they're spewing alot.

Doesnt polarized mean range that is leaned towards very good or very bad hands not medium strength hands like K9 or Q8 as you stated ?

Yeah my bad

What I meant by polarized is that villain is either holding a strong hand (66+) or a hand we have crushed with our holding (QK). In this specific case K9 or Q8 is in pretty bad shape. Medium strenght hands in this particular hand would be smt lke J10, A7+...

hope this makes more sense

he can easily have stuff like A7/A8 here imo, I wouldn't give lrr too much credit for a hand. I'd make it bigger on flop (300-360) and jam any turn
