AKs - River Bluff v. Donk
 

History: The previous two hands I raised preflop and got heads-up with him. In both hands he check-folded. This is now the third hand in a row I have raised...

i think once he calls the turn, he's rarely folding this river.

Re: AKs - River Bluff v. Donk
 

flop call is meh, i call too... preflop i play the same if he's your table target otherwise i likely 4b to 35/call a push

i flat call turn, i dont think there's a lot of value in raising and you know he's paying you off

i check behind river too, for some reason i have a vision of a set going for c/rai after his turn repeat bet and flat call and the only thing he's going to fold is TT or AQ

Re: AKs - River Bluff v. Donk
 

I really didn't like how i played this hand (not being results-orientated - he actually folded.) I like your suggestion of 4-betting pre-flop and calling a push.

If you're going to raise the turn, make a real raise.

Re: AKs - River Bluff v. Donk
 

I don't know what to do pre here either.

I'd probably pop the flop though.

It's exactly the same amount as I'd bet with a proper hand.

Re: AKs - River Bluff v. Donk
 

I think your bluff will work against most players when they have a one pair hand like AJ, maybe overpairs as well. However, I think once they call the turn, they are likely to call the river. Also, if they are not willing to give you credit for hitting a gutshot with Q10 or 107, or two pair with J9, then they will think you either flopped a set or are bluffing, possibly with 910 or a pair that picked up diamonds on the turn. Accordingly, this type of bluff where it is hard to represent something other than a set might get called in some spots.
