Yeh I see your point Mars. At the time I only saw 8-7 as a danger. Infact I don't think I'd even thought 7-3 while playing. We had been playing for some time even though it was level 1( I like those long levels in Stars)
The player had so far only made raises on very good cards. He could have had 7-8 by all means. I took the risk as I didnt think so. It was interesting also that he didnt seem to want to put any hands down and had called my raises more than once with a high card only or third pair. Maybe it was a 'look loose' strategy..never found out.
Fair point though Mars and it was a risk I took.

No worries bud you are as always more than welcome.....I didn't see that it was HU play...sorry my bad (just one reason why I rarely reply to HHs....and the fact that I don't know what I'm going on about)....he did raise first and you re-raised ....as for your re-raise on the river I like the play....you have the 3rd best hand...I would have put him on a flush draw(rather than 73/78)....and would have got my $ in.....maybe I should call with 23s.......

Yeh, flush draw possibly with his check on the turn, after his first raise (river)I put him on 2 pair/set...I re-raised there to get him off a smaller hand. I just wondered about the size of my raise there .Anyway he didnt fold or call -I got a re-raise...
..I wonder then if, considering my preflop re-raise, he's putting me on a straight? Possibly not. I wasnt putting him on a straight( I'm beat or split if he has one) so my only other option was he was playing a set and I had him beat. It was a risk. He took forever to make the call , well into his time bank and I comtemplated typing something to promt a call... decided I didnt know enough about reverse pyschology and kept my mouth/fingers shut lol
As for the 2-3s Sonny, well HU I don't mind throwing a few of those hands in, theyre often very deceptive I think . Particularly if you raise from the SB with them. I suppose it's just a case of mixing things up and hopefully mixing your opponent up. I'm not recommending anybody follows my advice anyway lol ahh well doesnt hurt to offer it though does it.
Thanks for the replies chaps.
Nice start/HH Opinions?/Sharkscope. 
) without a paddle. In terms of the 2nd hand, nice job, you forced your opponent to get his chips in teh middle with the worst hand...but know that a bet of that big in a pot of that size won't get you a call by 3rd pair on that type of flop at the higher limits.
