			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m really excited to start a new feature here on AnskyPoker.com.  Every week, I&#8217;ll post one of the most interesting hands I played and give some analysis.  So, let&#8217;s cut to the chase:</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been playing a bit the villain and he&#8217;s very <a title="aggressive" href="http://www.anskypoker.com/2008/12/wrong-here-are-the-right-holdem-manager-pokertracker-3-stats-for-heads-up/">aggressive</a>.  He&#8217;s 3betting me 17% but almost always folds to my 3bets. He&#8217;s <a href="http://www.anskypoker.com/2008/11/heads-up-nl-preflop-hand-ranges/">raising the button</a> 70% of the time (which is good) and calling from the big blind 40% of the time (which is a too <a title="loose" href="http://www.anskypoker.com/2008/11/hand-reading-on-the-flop-heads-up/">loose</a>).  He almost never folds to my continuation bets.</p>
<p>SB ($271.25)<br />
Gugel (Button) ($206)</p>
<p><strong><a title="Preflop" href="http://www.anskypoker.com/2008/11/heads-up-nl-preflop-hand-ranges/">Preflop</a></strong>: Gugel is Button with Ks, 8d<br />
<span style="color: #cc3333;">Gugel raises to $6</span>, SB calls $4<br />
<em>I always open with K8os.  I open with any K for that matter.</em></p>
<p><strong>Flop</strong>: ($12) 7d, 7h, 8c <span style="color: #009b00;">(2 players)</span><br />
SB checks, <span style="color: #cc3333;">Gugel bets $10</span>, SB calls $10<br />
<em>A continuation bet here is standard.  From our history, he&#8217;s almost never folding and I can get a lot of value out of him.  He calls and I&#8217;m pretty happy about it.  There are not a lot of 7&#8217;s in his preflop calling <a title="range" href="http://www.anskypoker.com/2008/11/heads-up-nl-preflop-hand-ranges/">range</a>.  To illustrate my point further, there might be like 20 hands with an ace in them in his preflop calling range, but only 5 or so hands with a 7.  He&#8217;s 4 times as likely to be holding an ace as a 7!</em></p>
<p><strong>Turn</strong>: ($32) 3d <span style="color: #009b00;">(2 players)</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc3333;">SB bets $15</span>, Gugel calls $15<br />
<em>The turn is a complete brick and it&#8217;s very bizarre for him to lead out.  Even though it&#8217;s somewhat unlikely, he might have a 7.  Raising here accomplishes nothing.  All weaker hands will fold and all stronger hands will call or push.  Calling is the best play.</em></p>
<p><strong>River</strong>: ($62) 9c <span style="color: #009b00;">(2 players)</span><br />
SB checks, <span style="color: #cc3333;">Gugel bets $30</span>, <span style="color: #cc3333;">SB raises to $100</span>, Gugel calls $70<br />
<em>He checks and there&#8217;s a lot of value in betting.  He might have a 3 or an 8 with a weaker kicker that will call my bet.  Once he checkraises me here, I&#8217;m a bit worried.  I&#8217;m really representing a strong 8 or a 7.  Is he really trying to get me off an 8?  After considering for a moment, I concluded that he really doesn&#8217;t play a 7 or an 8 this way.  I call.</em></p>
<p><strong>Total pot:</strong> $262 <strong>| Rake:</strong> $0.50</p>
<p>Results:<br />
Gugel had Ks, 8d (two pair, eights and sevens).<br />
SB had 10d, Kh (one pair, sevens).<br />
Outcome: Gugel won $261.50</p>
<p>What do you put the villain on?  What do you think the villain puts me on?  Do you call the river?</p>]]></content:encoded>
