didnt u post hands playing 5/10 before?

[sil3ntq]

i havent copy pasted any online hand in the forum except this one and one more which was in a $30+$3 tournament... why do you ask?

[Reel Deal]

He has you confused w/someone else.

Edit to add: as far as the hand goes, I mean yeah, that's a gay way to lose but you basically lost a 60/40 so if that's what you consider a bad beat you must run really well. You tried to get cute preflop... I think the right play would be to go 2.5xBB or 3xBB and then shove if he 3bets you.

Preflop i dont know what the hell is going on. Standard raise/push or something, this kinda play i had as your giving him equity in chasing any hand the way its played. AJs HU is a big hand, if your playing as played, push to his raise. But yeah make a normal raise is better.

And also prefop you were pretty close. Post flop yeah u were huge, but he had other outs

[sil3ntq]

in my game, i try to play in a way that my opponent has no clue to what i have. in this situation, if you guys didnt know that i had As Js, what hand would you guys put me on?

preflop, i tried to represent TT or better. would you expect me to have TT if you were my opponent?

[Reel Deal]

HU with you having a little more than 10BBs, I don't really care what you have, the way you played it gave him the odds to chase down your holding. At that level you should be more concerned with math, probabilities and fold equity rather than representing a certain range against an opponent that probably isn't even paying attention to that factor.

[sil3ntq]

so what would you have done in my situation?

[Zybomb]

With my stack I'd probably 3x it and hope to get 3 bet so i can shove.

As played I shove over the 3 bet, not make it 1800 total and leave myself with 1000, bc Im pot committed by that point anyway so no ones folding on the flop regardless

[Kurn]

HU with 30% of the chips in play and 14 BB, the minraise from SBB is just silly unless villain is hyper-aggressive and you think he'll reraise/shove over your raise with a wide range (in his shoes, I would).

As played, when he min 3-bets, just shove, AJs should be a solid favorite against his range.

In general, when posting a SNG hand when HU at the end, it really helps if you provide some background.

How long has it been HU?

How did he/you play during the bubble?

If you've been HU for 10 hands or more you should be getting some basic idea on how he plays HU, but more than that, you've been with him at the table for the entire SNG, you should have somebasic definition of his style.

Without the above, any answer you get from us isn't much better than a bunch of blind guys trying to describe an elephant. I've played too many SNGs in my life and HU on the end to me is more about rhythm than anything else.
