2/4 Bluffing a nit off an overpair
 

Villain has been playing very snug....like 16/12 over a smallish sample. I've been playing sort of LAGy but haven't shown down any bluffs really. He's UTG so that makes his range quite narrow I would think. How good is this bluff here?

yeah this looks fine

man that flop call is really not great with 2 left to act, but now that you've done it, the rest looks good

anyone else?

Re: 2/4 Bluffing a nit off an overpair
 

yeah don't bluff nits off of overpairs. They sit around waiting for hands to play to bust the 'crazy' tags with. They don't fold them. I like this play if villian is like 23/17 or w/e.

Re: 2/4 Bluffing a nit off an overpair
 

I like this actually, I think villain folds an overpair easily and a set as well here.

That flop call looks pretty bad.

Turn and river seem fine, and your bet sizing is good.

Re: 2/4 Bluffing a nit off an overpair
 

wtf at flop call looking "pretty bad"? this is like a perfect board to call in position w/ a marginal draw, cuz it's going to be v easy to represent lots of hands you don't have if you miss

raising the flop just seems crappy unless we have a *STRONG* read that UTG and UTG+1 are folding all but sets to a raise (or nfd), which is an extremely liberal and probably pretty bad assumption.

Re: 2/4 Bluffing a nit off an overpair
 

Flop seems like a clear fold vs a likely overpair+ with two players that have ranges that got clobbered by the flop left to act.

Obv this is a clear call HU.

I would think he should be folding here a lot
