villain was a fish...and when this hand was played it was just a few hands over and i didn't get to make an idea about his playing style.
as played what do you do on this spot HU with 2nd and OESD? is it better to go broke on the flop or just call?

Hi Ovy71

I'm not sure what going broke on the flop achieve unless you suspect villain to be bluffing there or stacking off hands like Tx (which are unlikely for a fish).

So at best we have a call.

Now on the turn it's a different story because I feel that calling is one of the worst options we have given his bet size and board texture. So it's more between a fold and a shove (leaning towards a shove in a HU pot).

what about his bet sizing? because he made it about 2/3 means that he is not that strong?
I don't like stacking off on the blank turn with my draw...so if calling is the worst option here i prefer folding ♦.

anyway weird play with QQ by the fish...I am going broke pre-flop with JJ in a HU spot...the fish lost some value in this hand :f_p:

JJ is definitely good enough for going broke preflop vs fish.

I agree that stacking off on the turn with your hand is thin but it's not just a "draw". Against the bluffy/aggro fish it can be for value as well.

As far as the bet size goes it's just odd that he raises small (min raise) just to bet bigger but I guess 2/3 isn't terrible for him (initially I thought that it was closer to 3/4 pot as I misread the total pot).
