Well one thing to think about is he has no idea i'm thinking/2p2. When some random min 3 bets my CR it turns out to be a huge hand a ton. Even a bunch of the p5's guys do this with huge hands, happened to me earlier today.

I like it. This is an obvious flop for him to try to c/r your c-bet, so I think you get a fold here a lot.

I think this is a similar similar situation to the hand I posted earlier today that you commented on Bond although you are a little deeper into the tourney. I think your line is very interesting. Its like one of those stupid minreraises preflop when they always have aces.

well, yeah, but he's still folding air like every time.

Alternative line is to flat it and shove over the turn bet/ bet turn if he checks. It gets extra from air and is more believable as a big pair/might get something like 66 to fold.

The danger is that he probably has six outs if he has air.

This got me in trouble in the 530 wcoop when I flatted a min checkraise w/ 87 on a 999 board. I though it would be easier to get 66-88 to fold with that line. Ace on the turn [censored] everything up because I lost all credibility for having the hands I was planning to represent (although this probably wouldn't have mattered if he didn't have an ace, unless he was better than I though he was), but I still bet after he checked and lost more to AT.

The threebet would have won the pot, and a couple people I talked to about it thought it was the better line, but I still think flatting is a viable alternative.

the interesting thing about AK is in a sense, you're calling/raising for value (but not really, since you're rarely seeing a showdown), since most of the hands you are getting to fold are behind. It's more about taking the bluff opportunity away from worse hands than getting better hands to fold.

I like this as a bluff line - flat call flop and shove turn. You're like... never re-raising a 9 here and I'm not even sure what you're re-raising on this board, so like... don't?

Edit to add that this is very similar to a hand I played in a live tournament once when I ended up stacking off with 99 on a TTx board to TJo... So yeah, some people do actually take your line with a 9, but not anyone with half a brain (oh and screw Yeti Theorem?)

So yeh, it might work because idiots do actually play like that sometimes, but you better hope to god villain thinks you're a random, and isn't a thinking player himself

Against some people I check this flop. I probably fold or call the the c/r because if you think hes bluffing AK beats most of his bluffs.

If we call flop, pot will have like 7k and BB will have like 10k left.
