Sorry I don’t have an exact hand history, as this came from a heads up match on UB, which doesn’t write HH files to your hard drive, and on a computer without Poker Tracker. I was playing against an aggressive but not great player, and we had a history of mutual aggression both from this match and prior ones. He doubled through me once with J8 versus my KQ on a JTx flop in a 3-bet pot, and once the match got deep, I really amped up the aggression. I was potting most flops after raising pre-flop, and he’d already folded suspiciously to one big river bet after I triple barreled. I’d actually rivered the nuts that hand, but he didn’t see it.
So in this hand, effective stacks were about $1400, with $3/$6 blinds. I potted it to $18 with Ac 5c, and he called. The flop came Kc Td 9s, and he checked and called a $36 bet. I was ready to give up, but then a 6c came on the turn, and he lead into me for like $60 or so. That felt weak to me, so I potted it again to $288, and he called. The river was a blank, he checked, and I pulled the trigger for one more pot-sized bet of nearly $900. He thought for a while and folded 99 face up (UB lets you do that)!
Granted it was like the 5th nuts and I was showing a lot of strength, but independent of my bluffs I’m sometimes going to show up with a worse set and maybe even KT here that I’m trying to bet for value. I don’t even mean to imply that it was a bad fold, but it’s not one I ever expect anyone to make, especially not in an aggressive heads up game.
I love that guy already – folding a set HU? Good grief.
