only 50 or so hands on villain, i hes running like 43/20/5.
he has also raised a ton in last few orbits.
also this is the first time i reraised him.
i raised to 30 because oop obv.
i checked flop because i thought he would bet since im kinda repping a big pair here since i was also running like 17/10/4 if he even has pa/pt.
so i checked assuming he would rep the ace, when i move in i dont really know what i want, he cant call me unless he bets me can he? so what should have my line been?

also sorry for bad posting, ive been working on it =0

hmm guess i am hated on here or something lol

Re: nl200 i think i turned this into a bluff
 

I don't hate this. He can call with diamonds here. And I don't think you're getting any more money out of him on the turn or river unless he is beating you anyway. Its really hard to go call, then have the turn go check/check when the board can get scary fast.

Alternatively, you could call and shove turn.

Re: nl200 i think i turned this into a bluff

I have the same problem where I assume I need to have 1928 posts for people to care to reply, so that they will feel it will be good insight for them when I re-reply.

Re: nl200 i think i turned this into a bluff
 

wtf, you aren't hated. everyone pays their dues, sometimes posts just get overlooked. if you don't want the advice then don't post, simple as that.

Re: nl200 i think i turned this into a bluff
 

that's not the case, a lot of posts just get overlooked, that's just how it is from time to time

Re: nl200 i think i turned this into a bluff
 

i want the advice or i would not post it. simple as that, it just seems people never respond and i want to get better.
and the reason i said i turned it into a bluff is that i dont see any worse hands calling so im not really betting for value . so if im not doing that i am bluffing even though i am bluffing into a hand that would never fold.
asyd said the only hand he sees here calling is diamonds.

Re: nl200 i think i turned this into a bluff
 

why are you bluffing when you have 0 FE? honestly, i think you played the hand fine, but this is definitely for value. this also shows why reraising AJ pf is lame if you aren't comfortable with getting it in on this flop.
