No reads or stats. Thoughts on the 2nd and 3rd barrels? I thought he might fold many Tx and 9x hands to the turn bet and all missed draws + most one pair hands weaker than J to the river bet. Maybe I'm being too optimistic.

Hmmm ,,, this is overboard in my book unless you are have a read of some sort saying diamonds.

[Check_The_Nuts]

too many draws to bluff river IMO. He looks like a busted draw, but so do you.

[Dilznoofus]

I think for the next few thousand hands I play I'm going to stop bluffing completely, aside from c-betting flops, and I think I'll reduce my frequency on those too.

Nobody folds to me, ever. I think I'd be much richer if I just got nittier.

Last two times I took a line like yours in a whiffed AK hand I got called down by 77 and 66

How many times do you try this? If you don't do it too often you might be able to get away with it. I guess BB probably has a hand like QJ/AT/PP?

c-betting is not bluffing.

I rarely do this, but I do it occasionally.

It works a majority of time, but the times it doesnt, I feel like an idiot.

Don't make a habit of it, and I think it can be profitable at these levels...a read helps though.

maybe your preflop raising hand selection sucks?
