All I could think was that he had aa/kk/qq and would fold to a push given his tight play so far. BTW I also felt like I played this entire hand poorly.

I don't like it. What hand are you trying to represent?

Re: 50NL, Time for a Big Bluff???
 

He could represent anything that beats QQ, KK or AA given preflop action. Wouldn't you put in a raise here if you had Jx, TT or 22?

I think I like it, though I hardly ever actually try this myself.

edit: I don't think I'd push though. Making a smaller raise is more credible and allows you to fold if he decides you're full of it and pushes.

Re: 50NL, Time for a Big Bluff???
 

how does he have 0 aggression factor over 100 hands?

btw, I'm not a fan of a push. he has the jack here A LOT I think.

Re: 50NL, Time for a Big Bluff???
 

-Well, I'd like to represent the Jack.
-His aggression factor over 100 hands was the infinity sign (=0??)
-I don't really think he is the type to raise in the blinds after a bunch of limpers with AJ, KJ, or QJ.
-I don't think he would double barrel AK after the J pairs.
-I really think he has AA/KK/QQ (maybe JJ/TT).
-He'd have a hard time calling all-in without a J.
-I *almost* raised all in on the turn, but wussed out and folded, and kinda regret it.

Re: 50NL, Time for a Big Bluff???
 

If he's AF is infinite, What about a KQ ? May be he's semi bluffing an oesd, i would raise here about 20$.

Raise preflop Btw

Re: 50NL, Time for a Big Bluff???
 

Given the action and your reads, he's most likely got a scared overpair, and I'm not convinced he's folding to a raise...even if his turn bet is uber weak.

I usually do, can't say why I didnt in this case, but it sure would have made villain's hand more defined.

I think there's a problem with representing a J here. If he truly had a J, would he not have raised on the flop? A push here would look very suspect. When you bluff, you need to tell a story and the story has to be consistent. In this case the story won't be consistent. I like the idea of using a paired board to psuh someone off a hand, but not when that pair is top pair on the flop and you didn't bet like you had it there.
