I hate it .. preflop is bad against a 28/14 because he's more on the passive side preflop, he doesn't raise very much in comparison to how often he plays a hand.

On the flop, I don't mind a c/r since you got a decent draw, but if you're gonna c/r and he calls, you have to bluff the turn if you want any credibility to your bluff. Since you didn't, and the draw came in, I would just give up.

Also - try not to bluff too many of the passive donkish type players, save that stuff for the regs. Just play straightforward and own the donks as best you can.

This looks pretty ugly..I would 3bet PF and lead flop. I guess your line could probably work, but it looks like spewing to me. What would you have done if the river wasn't a flush card?

Also, if you're determined to bluff this river, 18 works just as good as 26.5, and you save 8 big bets just by not betting so much.

RR or fold pf. Everything else in this hand is spew/donk play.

If the river wasn't a club, I would'have c/f. Can you explain why a Reraise/fold preflop is better with KQ ?

[Lego05]

I don't like calling OOP pre-flop with KQo (I don't like it too much in position for that matter). Either 3bet or fold pre-flop.


I don't love the flop check/raise bluff but alright.


Ahh...I guess you could try to rep the flush on the river there.



I think taking this line is generally pretty spewy though.

needs to work way too much to be profitable, it's totally unnecessary at these levels and a flush trying to get value on the river doesn't bet 26.50 into a 28.50 pot /images/graemlins/tongue.gif
