I played this Hand against a Regular Heads UP. His 3bet % is 16 (250 Hands). 2% AF
I need 33% on the River. From my Experience this Board where obvious Draws missed OTR and also a paired Turn is not bluffed often by Population.
For the Flop with 25% Sizing i assume that he Rangebets.
The paired Turn i think changes his Range towards being more polarized when bets 66%. In Retroperspective maybe more towards bluffs. BC usually i see a lot of Regs X on paired Turns even AA or AK in this spot. Lets say he bets KQ or better and Draws.
River i assume he Valuebets 7x or better 21# and if he checks all his Ahigh busted Draws and bluffs his busted SDs like QTs(some Q9s),98s #10. My Call is about to be Breakeven slightly -EV bc i need 34.1% exactly and i have 33.3% Equity.
But if i am in Optimistic Scenario that he bluffs AQ or ATs(ATo) is easy Call there.
But generally i would tend to fold, maybe he barrels the AQ,AT with the A in Hearts this would be enough for a Call.

What is your Opinion Guys on this Spot?

If you want to overcall, then why not stick to blockers to flushes and unblockers to missed gutshots? Anyways, why play HU against regulars?

Hm, interesting spot.

That River size looks bluffy, I play a lot of HU, and usually when 6max players play HU they tend to overbluff in this situations. (also they don't take much into account that HU ranges are a lot different and hit boards also differently then 6max ranges, which is understandable because they don't have HU experience).

I like your analysis, and I agree with most of it. He is definitly being polarized on this turn when they bet 66%+ in this spot (where you have clear advantage in trips, you have A7o in the range and 47s+), so he would definitely need to check some strong Kx+. So I wouldn't say he's betting always KQo+. Also what regs like to do, they like to "protect their range", but still keep a bluffs "in it". I play a lot of HU, and also I play until table breaks, and from my experience I see a lot of them betting in spot like this with of hands like A10o(or AQo) with blockers, but check a lot of AK,KQ, or even JJ on the turn.

I would also say that paired turn is generally underbluff spot by population, but also I agree that polarized size in this spot will definitly be more towards to bluffs because of that tendency from regs to "protect the range", and a lot of value combos just goes into that "range protection".

Generally is ok to stick with blockers and unblockers, but I also like to count combos(and if you put some of value combo's into checking the turn), and I would probably call here. (based on my intuition and experience)
