Da river check-raise bluff
 

Stars $30+3, villian hasn't done anything worth catching my attention so far, just a little loose preflop.

Why do this? I think its pretty bad and hes going to call you with his pair. The way you played it doesnt put you on a set of Jacks, or even a pair of Kings.

I hate it

Re: Da river check-raise bluff
 

However, I think a lot of Villains won't show up with either a K or a J here and are on a pure steal, and won't make big calls with an underpair or A9 or something, I don't really mind it so much against someone who you can count to be firing the river with a weak hand a lot of the time.

All you who hate the play would never call him with TT or A9, thats for sure.

Getting almost 3:1 on the river? Really?

Anyway, why not just like, c-bet the flop? Or bet the turn and rep AK?

this looks like the old "i'm tired of playing in this particular tournament" play

Re: Da river check-raise bluff
 

I'd C-bet every raise of mine so far and figured with this flop against two opponents, slowing down was a good idea.

FWIW, I realize (and did at the time) that I'm pretty much representing nothing, but I still think it's a good play.

Re: Da river check-raise bluff
 

When bluffing, you should ask yourself what you are trying to represent.

Would you play like this with any logical holding?

Honestly, just looking at pot equity and what hes NOT folding given his pot odds, it just isnt a EV move.

Re: Da river check-raise bluff
 

Reasonable range for villain? There's all this talk about what he's not folding but what does he have? I'd say all J's and K's are out.
