Default Re: I feel exploited :(

I was just about to post a hand along the same lines.

your hand only beats a bluff and it's early in the betting with more betting to go...

If you always fold, then they can win so much money with bluffs...

If you always call, then they can take so much money off you when they hit the scare card they are representing..

So the key is to sometimes call, and sometimes call the next bet and sometimes call the final bet. Also sometimes check/raising on future streets.

But my question is how you go about doing this?
How do you assign a "bluff catching" range that minimizes your exploitability?

Im sure 100% sure JJ is in the "call the flop" range.. But I have no idea how to proceed from the turn.

The hand I was going to post was HU I was OOP in the BBand raised a LP limper with AQ.

Flop A99 with a flush draw

I 1/2 potted, he raised fairly big, I called. (I had been SUPER weak-tight up to this point at the table and had been bullied around on flops like this consitantly)

Turn J without completing the flush draw.
I check, he pushed all in sligthly overbetting the pot.

I folded and felt exploited...
