River bluff with JTS

TBag · #1 02-02-2007, 02:03 AM

Only have 10 hands on villain, so no reads. The way he was betting made it seem like he was looking for an excuse to let it go and save his stack. Was this a good spot to bluff? (Also note the effective stacks, although I went all in it was only a 50 dollar raise.

His FE is almost nonexistent here I think this is -ev.

Poor spot to bluff:

1. All draws missed
2. A Q is almost never folding

If I'm going to make a move due to weak betting, the turn is the place to do it.

Also, if you are going to bluff the river you can risk much less of your stack and gain the same effect.

Look at the effective stacks - it wasn't that big a raise.

Edit - I was trying to fold every hand that wasn't a Q

I actually really like this play... If it didn't work, you really didn't lose THAT much.

I kinda got the vibe like he had one of those hands where he had a weak PP and was really hoping I folded to his small bets, and the way I played it I think I repped the queen pretty well.
