This hand is taken from actual gameplay on Full Tilt and took place between Patrik Antonius and pr1nnyraid. You?ll be standing in for pr1nnyraid.

Game type: 500/1000 NL holdem
Your image: solid pro, aggressive
Opponent's image: same
Your hand: Ts Th

The scenario: You?ve been getting the better of this high stakes match so far when the following hand comes up. You get TT in the SB and raise to 3k. Antonius calls and you flop an overpair:

Flop: 5h 5s 4 c

Antonius checks, you bet 4k and he calls. The turn is the 9h. Antonius checks. You bet 10,300 into 14,000. Now Antoinus check-raises you to 31,000.

What is your play?

A. Call
B. Fold
C. Raise

2 people think this is a good idea

Well since it's a heads up and he's aggressive he can have pretty much everything with a few exceptions.

I'm afraid that unless he's bluffing, the only thing that Antonius can have in hand is a better card, something between nines and jacks, possibly even 5/x or 4/4. Since the probability of a draw is negligible, I'd go with B.

It really depends on whether I'd think he's bluffing. I can't say from the amount of info you've posted.

Probably call

Hard call. I think there are pretty good chances here that I would call. Hard to say with only having one hand to go by.

If he is aggressive I think he would have bet into the flop and turn...my guess he paired his 9 on the flop, and thinks I paired my 4s.

Hmm, that sounds plausible sukkkell. Maybe you're right but I'd fold anyway. I guess I'm too tight.^^
