PS 27 turbo HU float then bluff

[elcheapo]

Villian is a multitabler who I decided from betting patterns that his hand was not very strong . I had also let him have 2 previous pots uncontested. I didn't even think he was drawing.

what is the minimum hand you call with if you're villian?

Raise pf.

I don't know why you would rather limp call pf. You have position and a decent hand....so go ahead and raise pf.

On the flop, you have to decide if you want to try to win this pot or not. Either he's trying to trap you or (more likely) he was trying to win the pot pf and your call froze him. So I'd probably go ahead and try to bet the flop.

The problem with floating the turn is he could easily put you on a flush draw.....then when it misses, he's going to think he's still ahead. Not to mention the fact that the pot is so big by now that you're going to have a hard time sucessfully floating him unless he really just had nothing (and without committing a huge portion of your stack).

This hand is a little too FPS for my taste. Raise pf, bet flop, take it from there. But as played, I don't think there is a street I like.....

probably right pf, flop I felt he would cr allin w or w/o a hand. As for turn float after conceding two pots doesn't make sense to at least represent a hand

There really is not a good reason to get too tricky with a multitabler. When you have even stacks HU (L8) don't get all your chips in the middle on a bluff.

Preflop, either raise or limp/fold.

Flop - If for some strange reason you want to bluff at this pot do it on the flop. He could have two overcards so bet 1600 and be done if called/raised. I'd just check/fold at this point but if you feel the need for a bluff do it now.

Turn - Please fold.

River - Try not to get here like this. I guess as played the bluff is not too bad because he could have two overcards with one of them being a high spade. But again, try to avoid this spot.

A-high?

Seriously though, it is a tough board to call with a one pair type hand. But, the way you have played it, there aren't many hands you can have that raise this river.

The only thing you are repping is a hand that got there on the river or maybe a slow played flush. You never have a 4 there, so that leaves 78. So, if he thinks it through he can look you up pretty light.

Floating can be an effective play. But not short stacked. Short stacked it is just spew.
