BB checks, Hero bets $0.12, BB raises to $0.64, Hero?

Hi,

Villain plays 33/22.

Do you call or reraise vs his c/r. He can have a lot of flushes there, and just a few sets and some Flushdraws. What do you do there?

I do not like calling or re-raising when we cannot improve more.
Fold is right.

Awfully painful but indeed a fold seems right.

Wait.. are you guys really folding here HU? Seems like a horrible thing to do. But then again, I know nothing about HU.

I was thinking about calling. There is still a fact that our hand can't improve but villains can. If we are now ahead, villains range probably has good equity against us. And villain could already have a flush. I hate calling, shoving would be better but it is a gamble.

Exactly. If not already dead, we will face a rangr with good equity and we cannot improve. ..

We can improve to a straight flush. Then we shove river (representing 8♠: ) to get him off a split. Easy:D

I guess this shows how bad at HU poker I am. I have trouble getting away from a pair when I play HU :f_p: I would probably not have folded here, but after reading the answers in this thread, I guess folding wouldnt be bad... I guess... :pcuser:

It is not a no-brainer fold. It is just a fold based on what people thing other people are raising with at NL4.

Well I just find out about that, after 5 years of poker, where I was convinced that I was Ivey's long gone twin :deadhappy: The truth hurts
