Re: Ok spot for a bluff?
 

I think he's calling this with any ace, but will fold quite often on the river if you follow through. If you plan for this going in then you can make the turn raise a little smaller, maybe a little less than 3x, to make the river more of a psb.

Re: Ok spot for a bluff?
 

What double eagle said and I think he does call turn a lot but folds river, so I think you should do it only w/ intention of shoving river. This is all only if he's a good player.
It's kinda FPS for sure, but if you like the spot go for it I say. Besides, bluffing is fun.
It sucks if you don't bet river though.

Meh, just don't do this often or at all. Not really necessary. Looks fun though.

Re: Ok spot for a bluff?
 

yeah, i think you'd have to be ready to fire river again

Re: Ok spot for a bluff?
 

i dont like it, because if he calls you are screwed on the river):

Re: Ok spot for a bluff?
 

oh yah, I'm def shoving any river if called. good point about the raise size..it's too big.

Re: Ok spot for a bluff?
 

I don't like it at all. This is a card that should help CO more than it should help you. He may stack off here even if you are representing an unorthodox trips line. Maybe I'm a nit but I just don't see the point in this spot. I think over-analyzing the hand is costly but I may be wrong. This is a fairly small pot and he likes his hand amongst two other players.

Re: Ok spot for a bluff?
 

But bluffing is fun, and if you get caught just make sure you put a note on everyone at the table cause they'll never believe you again.
