Ok, I've just started getting in to heads up play a little, starting tables and stuff and am still a little unsure about certain spots. Now this is how I would play the hand in a 6-Max game probably, but would you play it like this heads up? Villain seemed slightly recreational and was opening from the button 2.5-4x usually but hadn't done anything to wacky yet.

Do the same dynamics apply heads up? Would/should this be a cbet/re-evaluate spot? I just feel like I'm giving up the initiative here and playing a guessing game obviously the problems of playing oop. Is this played ok? Let me know what you think.

Thanks

Hi.

Both flush draws missed, but I guess the straight draws got there. KT got there, T9 got there. I wonder if he just turns QT KQ JT into a bluff when checked to. Probably not the best card in the deck to bluff catch.

I would probably call down on the 2 of hearts. here I think folding is fine

Ok, thanks. And can I cbet here HU in this spot or do the same rules apply as in 6-max, with the Ace dropping on the flop? They say 'don't bet for information' but isn't it necessary sometimes in these kind of spots?

Thanks

I think cbet is also fine, for thin value. Maybe on a A85 board I would prefer checking but I think on a AJX board betting may be better.

We do get immediate value from JX and a ton of broadway draws. Then on the Turn we can c/c on blanks.
