I would raise whatever bet he had. You are probably favored to win the hand. You have 17 outs i think. I may be wrong but im close. I might go all in online. I definitley would not lay that down. At that poin the only thing that is beating you or if you are a dog is a set.

What were your stack sizes? Could you afford to take a loss with this hand?

[chalykov]

You can make 1/2 pot bet if your opponent raise you then move all in.Of course it is important.If you are stack is smaller then you need free/chief card.

hi

just noticed this thread ;-)

interesting one - and as always its very situational but heads up play is all about jedi mind games I think personally

you can get people to make totally mathmatically wrong decisions if you lead them to

anyway

I would personally depending on the size of the pot - either bet out min bet or raise making the bet around half the pot

with that flop this would be like sitting next to a sign saying

"I have the ace and I want you to call"

what you'd effectively be doing is representing the ace while holding what its generally a weak bottom end straight draw (but in heads up this is not bad)

so I say bet with a good semi bluff

if the board was showing two suited (not in your favour) then I would bet out 1 1/2 times the pot to just take the hand down

obviously if your up against a cunning bugger they may see through this depending on your previous heads up play

bear in mind its really really easy to figure out if your up against someone who is not a good heads up player IMHO

hope thats a help

cheers scrawnybob

I'd put out a bet of 1/3 of the pot size. If he calls, then move on to 4th street. If he reraises you, you have to call with OESD & Flush Draw. On 4th street if you make your flush or your straight you could check it to him for max value, or put out a minimum bet to indicate that you are weak. He should be all in at that point......
