It seems that the WSOP Headsup battle was a little anit-climatic... at least in relation to the rest of the final table. It did go 3 hours so I guess that is something. I won't reveal who won here so you will just have to watch tonight. Although, I'll bet that if you degen enough to be reading this, you have already peaked to see who won. I am looking forward to watching it.

As you all know, I play pot limit from the 50PL buyin to the 200PL buyin. Here is a hand from the 200PL.
I don't have too many hands; but I think you can get a read that he is a solid TAG.
Villain is 14/9/3.0 over just 35 hands
3bets 7.1.. CBet both times he was the raiser and folded to CBets
He stole both times he had an opportunity from the button.
I know, I know. It doesn't mean anything; but generally speaking, we'll go with the TAG read.

I'm pretty sure that this may be a standard raise? Thoughts?

One thing that I have been lazy in doing is linking up guys that are commenting regularly on my blog. For whatever reason, my top commenters widget has stopped working; but here are some new folks that you find on my now Top 16 blogs.
Just the facts... a low stakes poker blog. I met Poker Meister on the friendly PL tables as I continue to donate to bankroll. He posts regularly and actually shows his results in the post (hidden though.. You have to click to see). I need to learn that trick as I think I like that much better than putting in the comments.
Hammer Player's Poker Blog. Love him or hate him, Hoy continues to put out the novel length posts. Maybe now that baseball is over, he'll post about poker again. ;-).
Just Sayin'. Fellow Midwesterner, Memphis, also has been a frequent commenter here and I truly appreciate it. The thing I like about his comments is that he finds the obscure little one sentence which is usually a big deal to me; but not really to others and comments on that... such as have a nice vacation or nice job in top 25... things like that. He is also a bridge player which is something that I always thought I would enjoy. My parents played a lot; but Mrs Wonka is definitely not a card player.
Please find links to these guys over on the right and check them out.
Have a nice day!!!

I call and put him all in on a safe turn card. He doesn't have that much behind and he could easily be donking with an over pair to the board that you have beat.
I'm not giving up on my Queens on that board.
I agree with gadzooks64, just call to peel off another card and then re-evaluate your situation. I don't think you can let go of this with your opponent having very little behind.

I'm usually going to re-pop him pre-flop given that it's just 35 hands in with him so the numbers don't mean much at this point. QQ is about my cutoff for putting it in pre.
On the flop you want to get all your money in with the best of it, if he has AA, or KK so be it. Waiting for the turn card to peel makes no sense what so ever, he's obv playing for his whole stack on the flop regardless.
The PF decision is largely opponent-based, since QQ is a borderline go-with-it hand. If villain is the least bit aggro, I'm 4-betting and getting it in. Especially here where your villain is playing 65BBs.
Given the action, ship the near dream flop.
Hey, thanks for the shout out.
I like re-popping pre-flop with him at less than a full stack. Re-popping from the SB isn't that uncommon with a range of hands that will include TT, JJ, AQ, AK, as well as QQ-AA.
As played, get it in on the flop. He isn't folding TT or JJ, and maybe not even 77-88. Just calling and letting an overcard hit is about the worst thing you could do.
Yep, I pushed and he called with KTs (diamonds). So I was about a 60/40 favorite and I faded the diamonds and overcard to win the pot.
