Warmup flop bluff

[Exitonly]

ok, 50 hands into the Warmup, i opened a few pots early on but took them down with a flop bet, hadn't played a hand for about 10 hands and then I opened in MP1 and it slowely folded around and I took down the blinds, then this is the next hand:

is this FPS? Should i bet this flop? I would have heads up, but 3 way with a button caller i check here a lot.

edit: no specific reads, BB is taknaptoin but he's not really involved in the hand, button hasn't done anythign noteworthy (i should have taken a look to see how he lost his 2100 chips, but i think i woudl have noticed anythign atrocious)

I've just stopped bluffing early in this turney. ppl just don't fold

It's good certainly against these opponents. I donked myself out of this tourney with a 3barrell bluff... But the players in these tourneys are simply too much weak tight/predictable. So here, I assume he'll ''bluff'' this flop quite often after two checks, and he really can't stay in the hand without a Q. They may even fold hands like KQ QJ QT.

Seriously. Also, roo, I don't think you can ever expect an unknown to fold top pair if he decides to call preflop w QT/QJ/KQ in the first place.

strongly disagree, ppl will call the additional 2k to "see what happens". and trying to fold out top pair in a sunday tournament is just unrealistic imo.

This is a really standard c-bet for me. Just think this is a board that doesn't hit their range too often and let's me rep a strong hand pretty easily.

betting this flop 100x better then your c/r it's cheaper gets the same hands to fold and the same ones call you anyway cuz it doesn't matter to them what you are repping just what they have.

[NoahSD]

Forgot to say that I think the c/r looks really really bluffy. I think it's awful.

[curtains]

I'd usually just fold. I check the flop sometimes too.

I don't think the play is as terrible as people are making it sound, because based on the action there is very reasonable chance our opponent doesn't have a queen. Despite that I've trained myself not to do such things.

[FGators]

You might be able to get away with this if you push the turn because then he'll really stop and wonder what his top pair can beat...that said the way they play this tournament I hate the whole flop action.

[LSgambler]

I would just make a standard c-bet or sometimes check/fold flop. I don't really like getting tricky vs an average Warmup donk.

[Colombo]

I like this play better if you were not the PF aggressor. A c/r here just doesn't make a lot of sense. It's not horrible, but I'd prefer a lead instead.
