What to do as BB against SB when he just limps? What hands to raise with, apart from the obviously strong hands? I would 3 bet this if he had raised, so should I therefore raise this?

Again according to the chart, call the flop, raise the turn, getting river freecard. Check behind the river because I don't think he will fold a better hand.

No stats, but BU is TAG like, so fold here should be correct?

I'm not used to play shorthanded so I might be very wrong.

1) I would raise him preflop. And fold the river. Other seems fine with my logic. But I'm not used to play HU. Anyway I would like to intimidate him preflop and on the flop.
2) I would raise on flop and not on the turn.
3) If he had flush draw than u have only 2 outs, but I doubt it because of his aggression preflop. So I would put him on AK or pocket pairs AA-JJ. His bet can be continuation bet, but I would fold as well.
4) It's probably wrong but I would shot another bullet into his head on the turn. If he raises me, I would fold (but he could be scared of the flush as well).


1) yep. raise preflop. A2+ is good to raise if he limps.
Fold river with no reads.

2) nice.

3) cap preflop, bet flop. or check/raise this flop, bet turn. (only if he is really a TAG)

4) ok


Yah, thanks guys.

1) Bit of confusion here. My instinct tells me to raise, but the charts are unclear. If he had raised, I would 3 bet, so therefore definitely raise against his limp. Not really confusing there, is it? Put it down to first session nerves. :)

3) I wouldn't like to cap this guy preflop, not with AQos anyhow. He often had big pairs. Could have been a good flop for a check/raise and donk though.

4) I like my play here too. I will lose this more often than I win, I think, so check/fold is good.
