3-Streets... holla

[bruin]

Villain is 24/18, but has been pretty active lately. I r/r PF like 80% of the time here but decided to mix it up by just calling. We haven't had any major tangles yet.

I will often c/r against the PFR with my flush draws, especially the nut ones. I feel like I'd play a made flush the exact same way here. I have to correct myself on that, as I'll often check turn with a flush draw, so I dunno any more.

I think that once I got to the river, a bluff is almost always the correct play. Who gives up on the turn though? I think that's where I messed up this hand. Thoughts???

reraise pre and if you wanna get him off his hand on the flop you should probably make it a bit more. Turn and river and good cards for him if hes chasing something. I just dont like this, we get looked up by 2 pair, straights and flushes alot.

i think this is a bad spot to mix it up pf. that being said i usually c/f flop or give up on turn, and even tho i hate how we got here i like the river bet.

That's a pretty gross hand to CR bluff with imo. You'll have SOME sort of draw on that flop plenty often, no need to do it with total air. I think preflop is fine, sometimes. Anyways standard is to give it up on the turn, as he might have picked up combo draws and/or might put you on one. Given his turn flat call, I think he's combo-drawing pretty often here and so don't like the river bluff.

I like it. The river bluff anyways. The turn depends on so many things that its really hard to say.

but given your turn bet amount, I like your river bluff.

i think if you are going to do this you need to be betting more everywhere, especially the flop. but, i think you're better off raising more on the flop and then giving up.

What is villains went to showdown and won at sd and what kind of sample do you have?

[Reef]

overall, seems spewy to me

[microbet]

Seems like if you are going to go through with a big bluff when you get to the turn, the most likely for you to represent is trips, so you should bet a little more.

edit: It'd be nice to have some outs against a made hand that could call of course.

Bruin what do you think he's calling you on flop and turn with?
