Message: [QUOTE="Jesus Lederer, post: 380541, member: 3283"] While i agree with your point nate, i must say that i still don´t understand your moves according to your reading. It´s true that heads up the game is a psychological game. If you have a strong read on your opponent then you have a big advantage, but what i saw in the hand was a big contradiction between your read on him and the move you did. You said that he was very tight and that you had won 75% of the hands by betting either pre or postflop. That means that if he played a hand it was going to be a really good one and most likely he was going to play it aggressively. According to that read, it was pretty obvious that he had a really good hand when he reraised you. So why call the reraise? I don´t like the reasons you gave for your preflop call: You said that you could easily bluff at him postflop, and you also said that if you hit the flop (at least two pair) you could extract him lots chips because it would be hard for him to laydown a monster. That 2 reasons are incompatible. How could you bluff at him if you said he probably weren´t going to laydown his hand? I would have folded preflop (after he´s reraise, because your initial raise is good). Now in relation to your call postflop, i don´t like it. You were chasing a gutshot straight using 4 straight community cards, which in my opininon decreases the chances that you would get his whole stack if you hit it. So you´re implied odds weren´t enough. As i said i agree that the psychological part of the game is by far more important than the mathmatical one, but when we talk about calls in hope to hit a hand, then we must apply what we know about odds. My suggestion is that if you have a good read on him, use it well. You could have folded preflop based on your read and kept stealing pots to punish his extreme tighness. Ah, and in relation to the comments, i prefer to stay quiet. If someone can´t manage his emotions when he´s talking, he definitely don´t deserve a reply. [/QUOTE]
