I decided to find a reason to post something about my own game today.

Today I've played heads-up almost exclusively. To give an idea of my opponent, as that is important in headsup play; He beats the game, and he has a brain, I beat him quite a bit the last 2 weeks and now he's getting used to my play. This is to say, he's not the person I would like to play, I do however get to think more. I still feel I have quite an edge on him, if I execute right.

Am I executing right?

These hands were played in a row, Any hands that were just pre-flop I will leave blank and just mention is Jack or Hero won it.

In spirit of not posting more than 2 hands in the same thread (which everyone knows I hate ) I will name this thread number one, Number two is coming up right after this.

Hand 1

Hero is BB Q J

Jack Raises, Hero Calls.
2 bets
Flop : 5 9 8
Hero Bets, Jack Raises, Hero Calls.
4 bets
Turn 7
4 bets
Hero Checks, Jack Checks.
River J
Hero Bets, Jack Calls.
6 bets

This is a luckbox hand, but I still think the hand is interesting. It might actually get a lot of discussion, what hand did you put him on?

Hand 2

Hero Small Blind with A A

Hero Raises, Jack Calls.
2 bets

Flop: A 7 4
Jack Checks, Hero Bets, Jack Calls
3 bets

Turn: 8
Jack Checks, Hero Bets, Jack Folds.

3 bets

Hand 1 I would say he had an A8, A9, K9 something in that range. He could have also had 2 diamonds and either hit a pair or decided to call you with ace high.

Hand 2 - Depends on how aggressive he is, I might have checked the turn if I thought he would bet the river.

Jayson,

How often is this guy raising from the sb pf? I would assume a lot since he has position. What types of hands is he willing to go to sd with?

In hand 1, I would 3-bet that flop if I thought there was a chance of getting him to lay down Kx somewhere. If he goes to sd with high cards, then I would play it the same.

Not much else you can do in hand 2. I think he'd catch on if you check the turn.

i normally check/raise the flop on hand 1. gets a turn fold often enough. 3-betting preflop isnt bad either.

what else are you suppose to do on the second hand?

ps. answer your phone.
