Sorry, the converter is screwing this hand up for me. I must admit, I wasn't paying the greatest attention to this table, as the other table was burning up. Didn't even stop to look at villains stats, which were 70/25/5 I noticed after play.

BB ($11.30)
Hero ($11)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with

,

.
Hero raises to $0.3, 2 folds, BB raises to $0.9, Hero calls $0.60.

I really thought about 4 betting, but just don't feel comfortable doing that without QQ+.

Flop: ($1.80)

,

(2 players)
BB bets $0.9, Hero folds.

2 draws, possible overpair, underpair, trips, only beating AQ, is this fold OK?

Nah, calling the 3-bet is fine when you're OOP. You've probably got a better hand.

Flop, er...

mjperry, he's in position.

With AK I tend to 4bet alot more often, if you just call you will miss the flop so often that the opponent can just take it down with a cbet. Even if you do end up playing for stacks you're generally in ok shape unless he has aces.

As played on the flop, given those stats I would call but against an unknown folding is fine.

nh

never 4bet if you don't know why you're doing it and especially if you're not comfortable doing it!!

Ah, my bad. I guess I just saw he was UTG and skimmed over it.

I know a guy through gaming online that was runner-up in the World HeadsUp Championship, he also has an article in a poker magazine and sent me his write-up on headsup play. I attached the file if you want to read it. Gives you a good basic understanding of general strategy in headsup.
