Default Re: 5CD - bluff or not?

Once he took three then you should not have taken any. He is not going to bluff into a raise from out of position against a pat hand nor is he going to value bet.

Right now you are trying to figure out if he bluffed you or not or even if he was value betting. Seventy percent of the time you draw and do not improve but you do not need to. Seventy percent of the time he draws and needs to. By playing the way I suggest you do not get bet into at all post draw unless he makes quads or something. Nine percent of the time you both would have improved but some of that time he beats you. Right now conserving chips is just as important as winning them so the times you would have both improved and you would have won are negligible. I think the play I posit better...but you tell me.
