Series summary here - SitCom: Heads Up with GaF - Series 1 Summary Series 1, Episode 1, Part 2 Heads Up with Gaf Video link is here - http://rapidshare.de/files/40663598/S01E01P02.swf.html (0.6MB - 15 Seconds - Format:swf Flash) Avi version - http://rapidshare.de/files/40678545/S01E01P02.avi.html (1mb) The opinions expressed in Part 1 so far seem to all agree that the villain is tight/weak/passive. Not sure I totally agree that he is passive (look at the river aggression factor of 7!!) however the main characteristic does appear to be "weak". All comments so far have said your move is to raise 3x. Should it be larger being out of position? A 3x raise gives him 2-1 on his money, and he has position - surely he calls that with any 2? (discussion on this point should be restricted to the part 1 thread - so we dont have the same discussion spread over 2 different threads). With time and hindsight I agree that a raise here is the preferred move, however for some reason, unbeknown to me I limped behind and took a flop. I dont think it's that much worse than raising, afterall it is a clear drawing hand, however a raise would give me a chance to take it down, build a pot for when I do hit and to keep some pressure on my opponent. The flop seems a nice one for me - 7h8c4c - I have an up and down straight draw and 2 overcards. What's my action? Questions 1) Villain didn't raise pre flop - what does that tell me about his possible holdings/range? 2) I have a draw, what is my general goal here for the rest of the hand? 3) What is my specific action here? 4) What kind of response am I expecting and wanting from my opponent here to the action you have suggested?

Re: S01E01P02 SitCom: Heads Up With GaF Questions 1) Villain didn't raise pre flop - what does that tell me about his possible holdings/range? could have a wide range of hands.... however cos he hasnt raised it's likely he could havde a weak ace or a drawing hand like yours... i.e. 6/7. 2) I have a draw, what is my general goal here for the rest of the hand? Build a pot here 3) What is my specific action here? bet $1 4) What kind of response am I expecting and wanting from my opponent here to the action you have suggested? I'd prfer a call..... if he raises then a decision would have to be made based on the size of the riase.... if he folds... another $ for you!!
