Its fairly early on in the match. This is only the third hand we had seen a flop with me on the BTN, due to very bad hole cards on the btn i appeared to have a fairly tight opening range. 1st hand he did small c/r on Q88r and i folded. 2nd hand he c/c Qh9c4c and bet pot on turn 3s and i folded. He had 3bet me once and i folded and he had called 50% in the BB. ***** Hand History for Game 3934884932 ***** (IPoker)Tourney Hand NL Texas Hold'em - Thursday, January 12, 02:22:20 ET 2012Table TURBO NLH Heads Up 20 672956851 (Real Money)Seat 8 is the buttonSeat 3: vornik ( $1410.00 USD )Seat 8: hero ( $1590.00 USD )hero posts small blind [$20.00 USD].vornik posts big blind [$40.00 USD].** Dealing down cards **Dealt to hero [ Ac As ]hero raises [$60.00 USD]vornik calls [$40.00 USD]** Dealing Flop ** [ 7h, Ts, Jh ]vornik checkshero bets [$100.00 USD]vornik raises [$320.00 USD]hero ???? I shipped it but felt this is a spot where maybe my aces arent so good and could have got away. Theres some hands like JT, J7, 77 and 89 that he will flat pre and have me well beat and theres a ton of draws that have good equity vs me, also if he is 3betting AJ and KJ which is fairly probable there isnt much in his range that will get it in and i dominate. I thought at the time if he's ever folding shipping will be profitable but thats a very big c/r to then fold to a 3bet shove. Maybe its better to flat flop and get it in over a turn cbet if the turn is a blank?
Given his aggression, I'd flat and ship it over most turn cards. Though actually I don't mind shipping it over on flop given that he will probably get it in with lots of top pairs and draws, and if he folds you can benefit from it for the rest of the match (he might tighten up and bluff less).
I like shoving flop, his bluffs for this size on this board will be strong usually and we don't want an ugly card to kill our action against Jx hands. It's noteworthy that we don't have the Ah which increases his good equity bluffs and makes it better to gii now rather than waiting for the turn.
