Two semibluffs against some tags
Villain is "bluffygambler," an ok reg I have at about 19/15. I've played him before at $200nl, and we probably don't have much history.

I 3bet him once before but no real history that I can remember. My image is solid.

Re: Two semibluffs against some tags
I like 2 and think 1 bad tbh. Though it can't be THAT bad since he can't have that many real hands.

Re: Two semibluffs against some tags
Don't like 1, his line is pretty strong, I think he rarely folds here.
Number 2 is ok except i dont think you need to raise so much on the turn |

I was pretty sure this is around the raise size that would do just that. I'm not sure if there is any difference in EV between raising an amount that committs me to calling a shove or raising with my straight draw and then folding to a shove because I didn't price myself in, but I just don't ever want to raise/fold my draw with these stack sizes, for metagame I guess, or because I love to gamble. |

[/ QUOTE ] I don't think a bigger raise there gains more FE in this spot against this type of player. I prefer making it about 175 and folding to a shove. EDIT: I also agree with Nick that semibluffing this spot can't be very good unless you have an idea whether villain will double barrel or bet thin |

Re: Two semibluffs against some tags
Yeah, good posts by all.
I figured for hand 1 there wasn't many hands he would play this way for value, probably only 88/55 and maaaaybe AQ. I also thought there was a decent chance he would just call with a set because UTG was a loose donk and probably would want him to stick around with lots of stuff. Villain had a set of fives though and I was left drawing dead on the Q turn. Hand 2 I agree that a smaller raise probably actually has more FE here, despite likely not giving me correct odds to call a shove. I think a turn raise is a lot stronger than a flop raise, but that's likely negated because his range to bet the turn is quite a bit stronger than his flop leading range. Villain had bottom set and I didn't improve. |

Re: Two semibluffs against some tags
I don't like hand 1, they way the action went, it doesn't look like he's folding. I don't think he does this with AQ or KQ..thats just werid. plus its multiway..which makes that raise even more scary. I donno, pm results?
hand 2 has a higher probably of success, however I don't think he is ever just calling that raise on the turn..I don't think at least...so u might have to call an all in. Didn't do the math, but do u have the odds to call? |

Re: Two semibluffs against some tags
I'm torn on hand 1 because i think people will usually call with their sets in this spot. But also your drawy is very hidden so calling is obviously +EV. Usually i'll just follow what i know is +EV.
Hand 2 just raise the flop |
