    Default Heads Up touchy hand

    Im sorry, i dont have access to any of those hands convertiser from my work desktop. This poker forum is actually the only poker-based site not blocked !

    Anyway I will make it super simple

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $50 Heads Up

    My opponent is a toughy. Almost all pre-flop are raised and there is no specific pattern. I caught him twice on showdown with K5o and 7Js and he raised them both 3x BB Pf. We went already 3 times all-in(called) and the short stack of us won them all. We started with t1500.

    Blinds are 15/30

    Hero is Button (t1750) Qc,9h
    Villain is BB (t1250)

    Hero raise 60 to 90, Villain re-raise 90 to 180, Hero Call

    Flop : Qd,Tc,4h

    Villain bet 120, Hero raise 240 to 360,Villain Call

    Turn : Th

    Villain bet 710 and is all-in , Hero...

    Of course this game is uber aggresive so it dont necessary show a monster hand. What would you do ??????

    top pair is a monster hand heads up. since hes an agressive player i would try to get all my money in here on the flop. im not sure why you played this so weak. i see no problem with betting all his chips. sure you might scare him off, but you took a nice chunk off him allready.

    fyi, flopping top pair heads up is the strength equivilant of flopping tripps in a 10 handed game.

    Oh damn yes I know my raise on the flop was not strong enough but i regretted it only once on the turn! I forgot to mention I had notes on him from an early heads up saying "Deceptive player, called a weak pf raise holding KK".

    seems like a reasonable raise on the flop...just bad luck on the turn.

    I think im folding here

    Get it in on the flop.

    Lottery if you call, but a fold is weak.
