Some bluffs¡

[mustmuck]

My game is fairly off at the moment (by which I mean I'm on a downswing) which has me finding myself in positions I don't usually get into. I'm honestly not too sure how retarded some of this is. They could just be unnecessarily aggressive. These are the biggest bluffs I ran today. Obviously none of them are my standard line for the given situations.

It seems like the more passive approach would probably be best in the first two.



1) Villain is a TAG (on the tighter side). Do I fold out enough here? I'm calling a shove.

2) Villain is yet another tighter than usual TAG. I'm pretty sure he'll bet the flop w/100% of his range. Again I'm going to call if he shoves (this one seems pretty close though). I decided to float the flop, but should I bet when I draw good on the turn?

3) Villain is on the looser side of TAG (like 22/20 or something). I'm pretty sure he has a flush here. I intended to make this play when I called the turn (obviously I could have some outs too). Usually I'd just fold.

Side question: what if he checked the river? That seems like the worst situation, as I can't seem him c/f this river?
