I can't believe I folded this, I thought I had a click tell on him that he had hit, and I felt this is more likely a slow played 9 or a hit 8 on turn than a 2. He flipped Q2 to show after I took awhile to fold. I knew he was spewing a lot of flops at these high blinds, and that he gave me very little credit when I checked hands. I actually meant to fire at this flop too. Against most players this would be an insta call regardless of click tells because of the flush draw on the board I think. This guy didn't care about draws as shown below:

(Note, during the time of the following hand he had been playing extremely passively with hit hands and had been minraising a ton, while I normally fold this type of hand PF in this situation, I feel this was an OK call considering the circumstances)

Also, I will not post too many strategy-based hands on this blog, I use the 2+2 Heads Up forum for this. It is definitely the best place to learn about any form of poker and I've met quite a few good people from that forum already.

During this post I played another match against the only person that I now have played 3x (not counting people I know). I was 0-2 vs this guy and have run horribly vs him. He's the only person out of the people I've played 2x that I've lost both games too, besides a 2+2er. He won again, kinda coolered me on a dark tunnel bluff turned top pair, pretty gross stuff. I have 8 more games to play when I return tonight.
