Topic: My best poker win so far Forum: Card Chat

Let me get one thing straight before I say anything, I suck big ones at heads up play.

That said, I don't think you can call this. You have 9 outs to the flush, and 6 overcard outs. Fact is that one or both of these could ery probably not be good. Best case scenario for you here is he's semibluffing with a straight draw, which is unlikely because of the monotone flop. Second best scenario is top pair/non-A/K kicker, but such a huge overbet is again unlikely with this. More likely are the scenarios you don't want - a semibluff with AsX, or 2 pair, a made flush with/without the As, a made straight, or (unlikely) a set. If he has AsX your flush outs are no good, if he has two pair/a set/a straight your overcard outs are no good, and if he has a made flush your overcard outs are no good and your flush outs are reduced significantly (and you're drawing dead to a runner runner straight flush if he has AsXs). If I was first to act with your hand I would understand pushing (may be I'm wrong here though - I do have a tendency to be overaggressive heads-up), but I can't understand calling a push here.

Still, that said, well played to get second.
