What is my/ villains range by the river?

Would you like the bet as a bluff?

[SykoraG]

mmm AJ / AQ / Passive A10. MAYBE a FD.

[BombayBadboy]

How do you like the play as a bluff..?

And what do you think my range is?

PF- you- ATC.

him- pps for the most part, sometimes SCs, sometimes stuff like AJ/KQ.

Flop- you- ATC

him- hearts, JT, 67, T7, Ax, sometimes grey area stuff like TT.

turn- you- probably narrowed range to like JT, hearts (though both of those draws maybe/probably check behind, i have no idea on your double barreling frequency here), strong aces like AJ+, 98, sets, any two pair (A8), still fairly wide but weighed more toward stronger hands. also, this wouldnt be too terrible of a time to double barrel with whatever hand because he needs a pretty damn strong hand to call.

him- hearts, JT, maybe 67 still, SOMETIMES Ax (though gutsy). or sometimes like KJ[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] or something like that. i really dont think he has a strong hand here- i would think that sets c/r the flop given the texture, 2p c/r the flop. i think he either has a weak showdown hand like Ax that wont put another cent in the pot or a draw.

river- you, your river bet is very vb-looking. i would probably guess you have some sort of 2p, sometimes stuff like A8/A9/ i would think that sets would bet a tad bit harder in hopes that a stubborn ace, rivered 2p, etc would call.

whats villains name?

I think AT/AJ is his most likely holding after the turn bet. Depends on how he plays draws though

[BombayBadboy]

Thorough and good analysis Orange, and I think I agree with most of it.

One final question: is my bet on the river good if I have a bluff? Especially the betsize?

Like you said, my hand looks fairly strong, and I wouldn't expect him to call me with just one pair. Im only really afraid he has AT, or maybe Th9h for a passive played combodraw on the flop.

US,

PM-ed you villains name.

[orange]

i like a bit larger as a bluff, it looks a bit stronger. but as stated, i think the majority of his range are draws. so maybe $55 would work fine.

[BombayBadboy]

Thnx for the comments Orange and Unknown.

I had 76 here, villain folded.

what did he show?
