Hate it. I seriously doubt this is a situation where you need to merge your range. It may be profitable as a pure bluff, but I'd rather just fire again at the turn.

[Boquense]

I'm absolutely bluffing here, I think he has 2 pair alot, and it's a tough call. I think if he calls with 2 pair here he should call with 99.

[traz]

lol trying to bluff 2pair like this is a terrible idea, not to mention he may very well have 2pair crushed.

[Boquense]

I have TPTK.
nm.

[MTBlue]

He don't fold.

GL OP!

seriously though, I wouldn't count on people to be folding 2pair here, ever. He'll time down a bit, put you on a bluff or a stupid AA, and then call.

[Boquense]

Wow. I'm a station and I'd probably fold 2 pair here often.

On this particular board I really think any multitabler will be hard pressed to make this call with 2 pair.

I think he will often fold a better hand, sometimes call with better, and sometimes call with worse.

Maybe I should just ABC my way to a mere doctor's salary :&lt;

[nuggetz87]

i think he flopped a set a lot of the time. i also think he's more likely to put you on 2pair or a bluff than a straight too.

i'd like it more vs. someone who isn't a nit.

[dagreez]

His hand looks like 98 KQ or QJ, possibly AK... JT c/r's this flop a lot and if he has a set he played it for min value.

98 talks himself into a call or fistpumps and calls, and KQ, QJ and the unlikely set fold, assuming he can fold a hand, imo. You're repping AK almost exactly which fits perfectly, if your image is solid enough -- If your image is garbage I don't like the shove unless he knows you know he knows...

If you think he calls with worse he's probably calling all two pair hands so you're fold equity goes down significantly and tptk by itself isn't good enough to be shoving for value on the river imo. You want that fold equity and if you don't have it shoving here is spew -- he can't call with KQ.

If your image is solid and he folds two pair I like it.
