100NL bluffing & being bluffed

[WSOP2007]

In the last 15K hands at 100NL 6-max I’m running supernova hot. I think I owe all of this to playing without a HUD. It really made me think about hands and situations instead of playing stats. While moving to 200NL I’d like to improve on spotting bluffing opportunities and making good calls. I have found that usually a weak bet on the turn when villain is OOP after he called flop means weaknes.
So here are some examples of situations I’m not sure about:

Bluffing:

Hand 1:No stats. Villain is not a 2+2er, but not a callingstation.

Stack sizes:
Seat 1: BB ( $255.15)
Seat 2: UTG ( $108.44)
Seat 4: UTG+1 ( $145.62)
Seat 5: Hero ( $123.5)
Seat 6: SB ( $108.02)

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is UTG+1 with J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
UTG calls, 2 folds, Hero raises to $4,5, 2 folds, UTG calls

Flop: 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] ($10.5, 2 players)
UTG checks, Hero bets $10.5, UTG calls

Turn: 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] ($31.5, 2 players)
UTG bets $17, Hero raises to $50

I figured the odds are he doesn’t have a 7, but a draw instead. For him to continue he has to have a real hand.


Hand 2:No stats. Villain is not a 2+2er, but not a callingstation. He knows I raise a lot of crap so he usually calls my flop c-bet.

Stack sizes:
Seat 1: CO ( $97.0)
Seat 2: Hero ( $145.5)
Seat 3: SB ( $73.86)
Seat 4: BB ( $105.74)
Seat 5: UTG ( $137.1)
Seat 6: UTG+1 ( $91.92)

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is UTG+1 with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
3 folds, Hero raises to $3,5, SB calls, BB calls

Flop: 10[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] ($10.5, 3 players)
SB checks, BB bets 1, Hero raises to $13.5, UTG calls

Turn: 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] ($37.5, 2 players)
BB bets $10, Hero raises to $50

I see his $10 bet as a weak blockerbet from a weak ace, a king or draw. Given the flop action there is no way he can call this bet with A2-A9.

Being bluffed:

Hand3:No stats. Villan is shorty = donkey.

Stack sizes:
Seat 1: BN( $118.93)
Seat 2: SB ( $50.28)
Seat 3: BB ( $202.67)
Seat 4: UTG ( $40.58)
Seat 5: Hero ( $102.66)
Seat 6: CO ( $42.84)

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is UTG+1 with T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
UTG folds, Hero raises to $3,5, CO calls, 3 folds

Flop: T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] ($8.5, 2 players)
Hero bets $8.5, CO calls

Turn: 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] ($25.5, 2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets $25.5(and is almost allin), Hero is allin, CO calls

The reason why I think this was a good push is that he insta bet pot after I checked the the turn. I think that means he usually hasn’t got the jack. What do you think considering the insta bet after I check the turn?

H1
your turn raise is too small, he will be priced in with a draw hes getting exactly 3:1. Either shove or fold.

H2
preflop is meh, kinda loose for me.
i probably just call the turn and maybe pay off a non club river if he makes a bet. All too often they make this block bet with a weak made hand (which is likely better than yours) and then call a raise anyways. Why turn your TP hand into a bluff?


H3
the guy is short and bad, getting it in with TP and every draw ever isnt bad.
