    Talking Some of my HU hands

    I posted this on deuces cracked so I might as well post it here too:

    This is a headsup match on Carbonpoker.com. This hu match had a very aggressive nature to it I have about 20 interesting hands that I would like to post, but but my physics homework for tommorow is preventing my from putting them all up now. I have issues getting maximum value out of most of my hands even as strong as top pair. Even though I stacked this guy about 8 times this match I really think I missed a lot of marginal situations. Unfortunately, Carbon poker is really bad for hand history and I cannot tell you what the exact stack sizes were throughout the match, but it is safe to assume the effective stack size was about 200 dollars throughout the match, though sometimes we were deeper. Blinds were $1-$2. A little history for this match. I was just pounding him with aggresion. This guy was a regular, probabally not someone I would normally play. He is actually one of the better players on the site despite some of these hands and is one of the top 5 highest raked carbon players. He is used to playing his normal calling stations so I decided to just pound him with aggresion. I opened wide, cbet whenever I had an excuse to. Floated and bluffraised whenever I had any excuse. I threebet 77+ Aj+ any suited broadway, any suited connector, any suited one gapper, and any 2 cards whenever I thought it was a good spot, which is a lot of threebetting, and I was going to try to win every threebet pot. This guy liked to get to showdown with his acehighs, played his draws aggressively, and kept alternating between waiting for a big hand and fighting back my aggresion with some crazy maniacal aggresion of his own. His adjustments were really easy to spot.

    Bad float? Bad river bluff?
    Pre Flop: ($2) Hero is BB with k4of spades
    SB raises to $6, hero calls $4

    Flop: ($12.00) qs th jh (2 players)
    Hero checks, sb bets 8, hero calls 8

    Turn: ($28.00) 3d (2 players)
    Hero checks, sb checks

    River: ($28.00) 7 (2 players)
    BB bets 20, sb calls

    Sb wins with two pair Jacks and 8s with jc 8d
    Final Pot: $67


    Bad flop play? I have seen him try to get to showdown with his ace highs, I've been super aggresive with my threebetting and cbets. In fact, I have just 3bet 3 bb in a row. He let me barrel off a few times. I thought I had the best hand.

    Pre Flop: ($2) Hero is SB with KJ of hearts
    SB raises to $6, hero calls $4

    Flop: ($12.00) 8d 6c 3c (2 players)
    BB checks, Hero bets $10, BB raises to 42, Hero raises to 128, BB Allin for 366.3 total, Hero calls

    I think I played this horribly? The guy was kinda on tilt at this point. we were about $300 deep I think

    Pre Flop: ($2) Hero is SB with AsTd
    Hero raises to $6, BB raises to $16, hero calls

    Flop: ($12.00) 5d Ad Th (2 players)
    BB bets 22, hero raises to 66, BB calls

    Turn: (164) 2h (2 players)
    bbchecks , hero Bets 100, bb folds
