100NL: Big River Bluff of almost 100BB
 

Villian is a regular and we have a lot of history. He's 24/12/2. I've played quite a bit with him at both 50NL and 100NL.

Here's one relevant hand that he'd definitely remember:

Button ($112.05)
SB ($211.85)
BB ($252.50)

Flop: ($26) 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets $21.5</font>, Hero calls $21.50.

Turn: ($69) Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
SB checks, Hero checks.

River: ($69) 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $66 (All-In)</font>, SB calls $66.

Final Pot: $201

Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF">
SB has Js Jh (two pair, jacks and nines).
Hero has As Qd (two pair, queens and nines).
Outcome: Hero wins $201. </font>


FWIW I don't repop him lightly very often, if ever. Mostly because he only has a 12% PFR so its kind of stupid to. So I think he puts me on a fairly tight range on the flop. How light do you think he'll look me up on the river?

If he is a solid player as you stated, I think you get alot to fold here.

Based on he's action prior to river, I don't think he has KK or AA. I think everything else folds outside of a set.

Re: 100NL: Big River Bluff of almost 100BB
 

You are both deep, he could be calling pre-flop with a wider range than usual.

His call on the flop is a bit weird, I am not sure what to make of it. I am not sure if a push on the river is the right move. I think I'd rather make it look like a value bet @ 3/4 pot.

I would never ever make that bet as a valuebet and villian should realize this from the above hand.

If you were really value betting, 3/4 the pot makes no sense, if he is going to call that he is going to call a shove.

Say you were value betting a set of Jacks here, what hand calls 3/4 the pot, but folds to a shove?

Well exactly. He most likely doesn't have AA/KK, but JJ, TT, 22, 33, 55 got there and I don't see him calling the flop bet with 77, 88, 99. You can probably get QQ to fold and maybe 44, but what else folds here that called flop?

Im confused. Why not?

66-99, QQ. maybe even a big Ace??

Why do you not expect 66-99 to call that flop bet?

Re: 100NL: Big River Bluff of almost 100BB
 

you guys don't hand read very well. Damn.

My flop bet is basically AK/JJ+ MAYBE AQ but I highly doubt I'd ever bet the flop with AQ. If I have AA/KK here and I'm making a thin valuebet its better to shove, because say I shove KK hoping he calls with AJ/QQ. Well this is a very thin shove and he's probably going to push if he has AA+ so you can quickly see I lose the $40 or whatever when I'm definitely behind but he gets to save that when I'm ahead if I bet 3/4 pot.

This would be much better on the turn than the river
