    With blinds this low i prob fold after he re-pops to 860 - You have more than enough at 10 - 20 blinds to re-coup when your more sure

    pretty stupid to play the worst hand heads up out of position with 1000 chips while the blinds are 20/10 and then go broke.

    i know its silly hence why i posted, surely i must have been fave when it goes in here? so read was correct but as you say its a bit silly when that deep to commit

    tbf usually i would have folded pre but because early days i then think see flop and see how he plays it, then i think yeah im ahead lets get it in here now snap call smile for little then think uh oh when king comes :)

    Bad play IMO.  Surely you play HU as you think you a skill edge in these games, so why would you wanna get a stack in first level with the worst hand in HUNLHE.

    If you wanna do that then just play Russian Roulettes far more fun! :)

      Wow you butchered that hand about as badly as possible.

      Few simple rules for you.

     1) the worst starting hand HU is 23
     2) The range of hands for raising on the button whilst HU is any 2 cards so therefore any reads about what they could be raising with are meaningless.
     3) playing 23 the best possible situation you could be in is against 2 overs in which case you are a 2 to 1 dog to win the hand.
     4) playing hands like 23s you are looking to hit a straight or flush(unlikely and fishy but it can happen) you are not looking for bottom pair no kicker
     5)If you insist on playing this type of garbage hand then 3-bet preflop and not call hoping to get very lucky.

      But the main thing is FOLD preflop because you could not have a worse hand.Calling with garbage hands is the best way to lose chips/money so dont do it.

    I know 23 is bad and u look to hit strong but went with gut, i do play alot of heads up quite a bit of late just knew this was bad move although unlucky not good

    ill learn
