Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 6430040, member: 397965"] Preflop In heads-up poker you can only fold complete junk to a small raise, so this call is totally standard. I am not an heads-up expert, so dont know the exact ranges, but 65s is definitely not close. You dont want to overfold in this format, because then you will just get blinded away. Flop Check-calling beats check-folding, but this is the perfect hand to check-raise. You have no showdown value, you have a well disguised 8-out straightdraw with a BDFD, and you have an opponent, who is likely C-betting to much, and who have missed this board a ton. Turn As played I would check-call again. You are not getting the right direct odds, but your implied odds are excellent, because all 8 cards, that improve you, will look very safe to him. So if you river your straight, you can either donk lead or check again and let him valuebet a hand like top pair, and you should get action most of the time. [/QUOTE]
