General Theory: Blocker bets

[Profish2285]

The problem with 1/2 PSB blockers is that blockers seem to be such thin value bets by nature that making that steep of a blocker could be -EV. I could be off here, thats why I posted this in the first place, this whole topic seems fuzzy.

I don't think blocking bet situations come up very often since we are frequently betting for value.


Preflop: Hero is BB with T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Button calls, SB completes, Hero checks.

Flop: ($1) K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $1</font>, MP calls, Button folds, SB folds.

Turn: ($3) T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, MP checks.

River: Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $.25</font>

I can't bet for value. I can't call a bet. Bluffing is suicide. C/F is fine, but I think club draws are a big part of his range and I think he's going to bet ATC if I check twice.
