I figure he's on a missed draw a good bit, and the A is a scarecard if he was on a hand like KQ

If I'm villain I call with KQ and you beat every missed draw that would fold here

meh, after the turn action, i probably give up. i dont like betting here much. sure youll get folds from 7x, but a K is calling almost always.

Orange I think you missed what the turn card is

Perhaps the nut high was a poor place to bluff; I am, however, trying to incorporate bluffing, because I think there definitely are spots where it is +EV. I'm surprised you don't think Qx calls here, they almost always put me on AK, and seem to fold

[catfish_01]

Whether or not they'll fold their Queen is pretty opponent dependent. Obviously, calling stations probably will still look you up, but it's a general rule to not bluff calling stations anyway.

You didn't post reads/stats, and if you're planning to work bluffing into your game, I would do it against players who you have at least got some hands and observations on. (Again, against some players, bluffing is just bad.) But, semi-bluffing which is part of any aggressive strategy should be enough against average unknowns while you get to know them.

i did, river bluff is even worse than i first thought. i dont even see many hands that peeled the flop that isnt calling the river.
