Very first hand of HU match so no info... what's the play? Should I consider checking the flop and if so what's the plan?

sux 2 be u here

why 3b 1st hand of session with such a hand
as played i would fold

I think because it's the first hand he's less likely to 4bet a big hand and more likely to 4bet bluff so I think we can fold here because his calling range is much stronger than usual.

as for checking the flop I think it's very difficult to play your hand well that way without a read on your opponnent.

Anybody else feel that's true? I always wonder about stuff like this but I never manage to figure it out

As played, fold and pretend this never happened.

You know how much shit he can have there? ship it imo.

really easy shove if this is the 1st hand

why?

Because you just never know and you have tp in a 3b pot with a shitton of draws against someone who may be crazy or bad or both.

i think obiedman used to play 5/10 fwiw

lol, it isn´t easy to get yourself into such shitty situation, gj

rofl grot, don't 3bet here if you have problems like this post

as played i am with TTom and shove

by 3betting you're going to get into marginal situations

dunno y you would setup an aggressive image and then hero fold TP here

hmmm I don't think T8 flops top pair and gets raised on flop very often, this is just a rare situation

anyway in the game itself it seemed like an easy shove to me and he busted me with JJ, then afterwards I started doubting looks like opinions are divided so i dont mind it as much anymore thx... maybe i just felt bad about busting hand 1

get it in and be happy about it

r u fking joking jelle

as played you should play for stacks and hope he's not a hitnrunner.

Really don't like 3betting marginal hands without having any clue whatsoever about the opponent. I mean you have no idea if he's drunk or a reg.

As played, I might make a minraise or something to try to induce something from air, with intention of shoving any turn if he calls. Shoving flop is pretty much the same.
