well what exactly do you mean with super weak?
meaning he plays very tight and gives up quickly?

Anyway, i'd probably fold on the flop. Really looks like he has a hand to me. And fold it on the turn ofcourse, you lost about 1/3 of your stack but that doesn't mean you should risk the rest..


You are really really deep here.

I would not bother with such a marginal hand. You are going to have many more chances to get him.

If you must raise this preflop and he donks on the flop then let it go and wait for a better spot.

Hi all,

Call the turn is better. Generaly people don't 2nd barrel on dry boards too lightly, so I would fold if I missed (very rarely raise). If you raise you then have to fold to the shove (simple pot odds obviously) so...

Folding preflop is really bad.. please don't do it.....

Do you raise this preflop?

Yes always against every opponent with these stacksizes I would raise this preflop. We can justifiably raise to different amounts preflop depending on the opponents. but folding outright = bad. You are playing too few pots in position HU (position is very important)

Thank you Chenny.

I would have completed and not raised it so it shows I have lots of learning to do here.


its very rare that ur 60BB deep in a turbo STT so i wouldnt worry too much about perfecting deep HU play for STTs. just get good at HU nash. :)

This. Usually 30-45bb I would tend to raise nearly ATC and 45bb+ I will raise absolutely ATC on the button until I get given a reason not to.
