My first time firing 3 barells
 

Villain was a loose passive player over about 50 hands, i seemed to just call,call,call(35/5/.8), i haven't seen him show down any big hands yet

i have never done this before but i felt this was a perfect opportunity to do so, i just don't see how I went wrong

Fold PF! A9 is terrible.

Re: My first time firing 3 barells
 

i would just check the river since your hand has showdown value. there's no need to turn it into a bluff.

I think on a flop like this it's hard to really rep anything and you will get called by mid pairs a ton.

[x] I tried to bluff a calling station, what did I do wrong?
[x] I gaybet the turn

77 depends on what hes betting... probably not

There's your answer.

Don't bluff a calling station... And bet like a man on the Q [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I give up after the flop call.

2 barrels is good vs non calling stations

1 barrel is good vs calling stations
