Two AK river bluffs

hand 2 I really like if you decide to turn your hand into a bluff. But, when he checks the turn to me, I just try to check it down. This is a good bluffing line though and it's certainly believable you have a flush draw you checked behind on the flop / top set you decided to slowplay / gutterball.

Hey CTS, I think you're right about hand one but I don't know about hand two. I normally check it back also, but I disagree about it being a good bluffing line.

I don't know how believable a turn bet on a blank is unless the villain puts you on a 8x. Betting the turn with a flush draw or gutterball is fundamentally wrong and it seems like a poor board to check top set.

Two types of Villains it could work on: 1. A villain who refuses to play a big pot with one pair hands. 2. A very smart villain, who also thinks you are very smart, and decides that you checked a big hand to mess with his hand reading.
