Re: 2/5 live bluff
when playing against a live donk you must first understand his thought process...
when he peaks down at this cards in early position he is delighted to find two broadway cards. After your raise he is very excited at the prospect of winning a big pot. Now on to the flop...
the donks face momentarily lights up as he is thrilled to have flopped a pair. He tries to keep his excitement to himself as he realizes "Not only does I have a pair, I has the TOP pair!" he then considers how to best extract the most money from you and concludes that his best option is to trap you. He is very happy that his plan has worked to perfection on the flop.
Now the turn comes a total blank and he chuckles to himself quietly after he check calls because this idiot on the button keeps giving his money away.
Now after checking the river and seeing your sizable bet he does indeed have to pause for a second...maybe even two seconds...because there are now three cards in a row and after all who in their right mind would bet here if they didnt have the straight? But he quickly comes back to his right frame of mind, shrugs, says "pot odds" and throws three stacks into the middle.
Seeing your hand at showdown he realizes that his hand reading needs more work because the entire time he "put you on AK"
you're welcome...and better luck next time at the lol live-a-ments
