3 HU hands from my latest session

[adam258]

The first 2 hands are PF allins. I definitely think the JJ is an absolute MUST CALL. On the second hand the A9o allin call is questionable but I felt committed after I decided to 3-bet him prior to the shove. Thoughts/opinions? On hand 3, is this just bad luck? Or did I play like a complete passive moron (which is not usually my style)? Personally, I kinda thought he had QJ or so after the flop check, and then turn raise. However, given my line of thought, if I really thought he had QJ or KQ, then I should have folded. Really curious as to everyone's thoughts on this hand especially. Thanks! Adam

You don't give any reads or stats so it's very tough to give good advice...

The A9 hand folding to his 3-bet is way way way better than 4-betting and planning to call a shove.

Calling the river shove with 2nd pair on that QT77x board was horrible.

[adam258]

No real reads as all 3 hands occurred early on against each opponent. Re: the A9 hand, I 3Bet, he didn't. So I didn't call/raise his 3Bet. And re:the last/3rd hand, I want comments prior to his river shove. Yes calling his BS river shove was stupid, to an extent. HOWEVER, he played this just as bad as I did. Really don't think I played extremely bad, other than being too passive, up till the river shove. Definitely should not have called that, but I was tilting.

[no eff eks]

In the A9 hand he did 3-bet, you 4-bet... Pre-flop the blinds are considered the first bet, so a raise is a 2-bet then a re-raise is a 3-bet. Like I said before, fold when he 3-bets because A9 is a hand that does not play well in 3-bet pots (even with position).

I have no problem with your play in the last hand besides calling his over-shove on the river. The first hand was a super easy call btw, forgot to mention that in the other post.

[adam258]

Ok my bad.

[loltrickedu]

Hand 1: easy call
Hand 2: Eh im not in love with it generally a fold but people to love to shove pairs HU so it is ok sometimes and turned out well but generally a fold.
Hand 3: Have to fold to the river shove.
