NL$1/2 - Cbet bluff, less of a bluff, not a bluff vs HuckleberrySeed

[xSCWx]

He is one of those "pros" with the fancy color names on FTP. I don't really have much a read on him except that he has been trying to make moves on me with air and that he has his own avatar. I had been eating away at him with reraises so I decided to make one here with Ac7c which isn't really standard for me.

This might have been a bad flop to cbet but I thought I might get some additional respect because of the reraise.

Is everything else standard?

[Vinetou]

Standard.

[TheQuietPlayer]

All standard for me except preflop. Even when I start reraising wider PF OOP, I tend to just call with weak Aces (suited or not). I don't know why, but I feel they play better in this way.

A7s is in those category of hands you never know what to do with them. A9 you reraise imidiately, A8, A7 not so imidiately. I usually muck those hands if unsuited, but suited I call for sure, against this player reraising is a fine play.

The thought crossed my mind at the time which is why I usually don't raise them. He had just been folding so easily to my reraises that I felt it was +EV regardless of how difficult postflop would be.

[Vinetou]

Then it is +EV to do this with any two cards on ocassion, especially junk hands, right?

If they are folding easily enough - yes. I didn't want to do it often enough that he would start calling me with garbage and I would have to play postflop in a reraised pot without a read.

[Stealthy]

I hate the 3 bet pre. You get called by all the hands that dominate you and fold out the rest. I would rather 3 bet with 76s than A7s. Rest is standard.

lol. He didn't win the ME or anything.

As played, turn and river are standard. 3bet pre is fine. Flop bet is meh.
